All sorts of power goodies, and only two of them work!

I recently bought a 1984 Camaro Z28. The thing is in bad condition but runs. I got it for $300. Problem is, the power door locks don't work, the power windows work, the power hatch release doesn't work, the power mirrors don't work, and the dome light doesn't work. I checked all my fuses... one was blown and it has nothing to do with any of the electrical goodies I have mentioned. I took off the passenger door panel and saw that the mechanism to unlock the doors was still there... I'm assuming it isn't getting power. Does anyone know what the problem could be? I'd love to have power door locks, and I'd really love to be able to get into the back without using a key. Any suggestions are appreciated. Oh yeah, this is my first post here, so I'd like to say hi to everyone for now, ill give out more info when I have more time. Later.

Hey, that diagram is nice... but I don't really know how to read it. I will check the CTSY fuse though... looks like its in the fuse box? What about that other one labeled "circuit breaker", could that have something to do with it or am I just dense? I'll go check that fuse right now, see if its gone or not. Thanks for the help.

It works! Haha! How exciting.. the fuse was in the wrong place. I guess the previous owner didn't know what he/she was doing when they replaced it... or they just didn't like having all those fun buttons to push. Now... my doors don't lock when I push the lock button. The solenoid or whatever it is fires... but i guess it is having some problems actually getting the thing to lock. My mirror on the driver's side is falling off, and the hatch doesn't pop open... but I am closer to making it fully functional. Now all I need is for it to run right again. That's for a different forum though. Enough rambling! Thank you for your help, I am thoroughly stoked at this new development. Goodnight
