Power locks not working

[Aarondash]

So I have a 1996 silverado 1500 z71. When I bought it there was no key for the door locks. So I got a locksmith to cut me two keys and now I have keys for the locks but when I tried to click the lock and unlock switches, nothing happens. I was guessing since the guy who I bought it from lost the keys he pulled a fuse or disconnected the locks so he didn’t accidentally lock himself out. I pulled the switches and they are plugged in. I checked the fuse in the dash #13 and I took #15 fuse out and tried to put in #13 spot to see if the locks work and nothing. Could the actual door lock actuators be bad? Both sides do not work

Check the drivers side switch and wiring in the door jam first. If there is a broken wire or a bad switch, the passenger side will be dead also. Check for power at the actuator while you have the drivers door panel off.

Are the door locks, both sides, different than the ignition key tumbler?

Uh, the power locks run through one of the silver circuit breakers in the cab fuse panel, not the fuses...

How can I check for power at the actuator?

The guy swapped the ignition so now they are different. Not sure how it was before.

Are you talking about the silver ones on the left side of the fuse panel? I swapped them around and still nothing.

 

[GoToGuy]

So are you saying you have one key for doors and a different key for ignition?

Yes

You can remove the key tumblers out of the doors and repin them to the ignition key. If you want to return to one key for all locks and ignition.
