Electrical Power locks not working

So my car was missing the passenger side lock actuator and the drivers was just sitting in the bottom of the door all nasty and corroded. Just replaced em, cleaned the switches and nothing is happening.

I’ve checked everything with a test light and so far the pink/black and pink/orange wires that go to the actuators aren’t getting juice on their way to the driver’s side.
I’ve got switched power coming out of the harness to the passenger side actuator. I’ve read some posts where people say power needs to be getting to both actuators for everything to work and some that say it doesn’t, so which is it?

Also is there a common spot in the dash that the wires could be chafed? They seem so buried under the dash, I can’t see many people ing with em.

Thanks in Advance!

What year is this car? Have you checked the switches on the doors? I think you need power on both sides. I dont know for sure though. When you engage the switch it dictates the path of the ground to either make it lock or unlock. If everything isn't connected right I dont think it will work. I went through some similar issues with my car. I'm not an electrical guy so it took a lot for me to figure out what the system was doing from the diagrams. Once I got it fixed I promptly forgot it all. Not sure if you have this diagram, sounds like you do as you mentioned wire colors. Good luck! I'll be following along.

Sorry! It’s a 90 Lx with power everything. Yep ran through this diagram. Last checkable spot that had juice was coming out of the passenger door then it disappears under the dash. I pulled a bunch apart and got ahold of it under the driver side speaker grille, no power when I hit the driver side lock switch.

Just focusing on the pink/black and pink/orange since everything else seems to check out at the switches. I did take the switches all apart and cleaned the contacts.

Update: I’ve got power going to both actuators from the passenger side switch but the drivers side doesn’t do anything at all.

While I was digging around under the dash, I noticed a cut gray wire attached to the trunk pop wiring. Pulled it apart and now the trunk switch works with no issues. I’m assuming this means someone ripped an alarm outta the car at some time. There is a little hole drilled on the gauge trim for one of those little red lights.
Does anyone know where they would have tied into the lock system? I’m thinking thats where things are getting stuck.
