I picked up a 93 Gt last week. Electric door locks didn’t work. I pulled the door panels and got new switches. Got out the multimeter and have power to everything seems to be good. So I got new actuators thinking that was the issue. No dice, locks still don’t work……plus now my drivers window doesn’t work! Any ideas?

What actuators did you buy?

Anything binding? Does it make any sound like it wants to work but just doesn’t?

A multi-meter is not a good tool to use in this case.
You can have a 12 volt reading at the wire end, but that does not mean that the wire will carry the load.
You need to test for voltage with a test light.
If it will light a test light, then the circuit is good.
A multi-meter can read 12 volts, but there may be high resistance on the circuit that prevents any current (amps) from going through.
