Strange Electrical Problem

I own a 1992 Bonneville SE. The problem is that my remote to lock/unlock/trunk stopped working. Also, my electric door locks don't work and the lights don't turn on when you open the door. I checked the fuses and they are fine. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

That many problems at once indicates a problem with the grounds. There are two ground busses on these cars that are known to cause problems. Here's a picture of the one on the drivers side. The other is in the same location on the passenger side. Pull the metal piece from the wiring harness & clean any corrosion with sandpaper. Also clean the contacts inside the harness. I'd use a light coating of dielectric grease before putting them back together. Let us know if this helps.

Are you sure that is the location of the ground busses in the 1992 Bonneville? I checked there on both the driver and passenger side. I found tubing containing wiring, but nothing with any kind of connectors that I could take off. Maybe I didn't look hard enough...

Do the ground busses plug into something that I maybe didn't see. What exactly should I be looking for?

I think that pic is from a 90 or 91. Look around a little more but if you can't find it put up a post at Bonnevilleclub.com.

Thanks for that link, I even looked a few times for a specific Bonneville forum but somehow never found that one. I'll post my problem on there and see if they know what to do. I'll post results if/when I get them :)
