89 Iroc-Z power locks dead

My 89 IROC-Z I bought has 25,000 original miles and was stored well and is beautiful. I'm trying to bring it back to perfection. It does have a few MINOR flaws including the power locks.

If I hit lock or unlock I hear a click like something is relaying under the dash. Is this something as simple as a blown fuse? I haven't looked into it yet. I wanted to see if anyone else has had this happen. Thank you

due to it sitting, may just need moving parts lubed. white lithium grease tends to turn into 'glue' over time. any noise in the doors ?

No noise in doors besides very quiet noise from pressing lock or unlock down

The fact that you hear the relays clicking is telling me your fuse is ok. That said, there is 20 amp Acc fuse in the fuse box for the door locks and a 35 amp Pwr acc circuit breaker.
