1989 gt both doors wont lock or unlock help.

Always add speed parts whenever you're unsure of the problem....
But seriously folks, access the plug on the door lock plunger and check for power when pressing the button. You can do it from the switch harness too but you're likely needing new lock solenoid s.
And my experience with replacement door lock actuators is they are mostly junk. :shrug:
 
When and if I take off my drivers side door panel again I am going to do the JRicher write up on these. The new ones I got from American muscle and one suck!
 
OP - check the female pins in the connector where your power window switch is. You may need a small screw driver or pin to move the two halves closer together. My bet is when the connector is plugged in, the connection is not making full contact.

If you have a 12V/18V/20V cordless tool battery handy you could jumper the window motors in the disconnected plug. That will tell you if the window motors are working or not. When doing this, just tap the one jumper wire (to pulse movement) as you don't want the window racing up/down in the window channel. Off the top of my head I am not sure which wire colors are for the power windows - just check your wiring diagram.
