BMW e30 Actuator (door locks) not working
«

Last week, I was just getting out of my car, locked the doors with the keyless entry (made by Stellar) and it worked fine - I came back to the car, and it was very weak trying to unlock the doors/trunk. I used the key and it was still having trouble - so I locked the doors again with the trunk and all was fine - now, no locks work at all by the actuators. The key works fine, but the actuators are inoperable. I checked all of the fuses and even replaced the trunk actuator and still no response from any actuators. Is there another fuse that operates them? like one of the block fuses between the smaller fuses (5, 10, 25's, etc). I also noticed that now my drivers door interior light switch doesn't work at all either - somehow it's connected?

update:
when I lock the drivers door while I'm in the car, I can hear a buzzing sound for about 2 seconds by the kickpanel speaker. Same issue with my brothers car, removed the trunk actuator and the noise stopped - but he has no central locking - no need for it, shaved door handles.

pulled and replaced all actuators yesterday, still -absolutely no response from any of them, and the fuse 19 is good. Replaced the trunk, passenger, driver and fuel actuators, checked the fuses - they're all known good actuators, and the fuse seems fine - anybody have any idea?

fixed - the wire harness leading from the drivers actuator through the door that connects behind the drivers kickpanel speaker - there was some error with the harness behind there, so in one position, everything worked, the interior lights and actuators, and in another position, they didn't - so I got it tight in the right position and everything is fine now - but I need to find out what exactly has a bad contact in that harness to prevent this from happening again.
