Car back from body shop, now a few electrical issues
I have a 1987 IROC that I spent a wad of cash getting painted. I have owned the car since 1998 or so and am pretty familiar with it. Before it went to the shop, the only thing not working was the emergency brake. Now the power locks, power antennae, and A/C do not work. I checked all the fuses, they all looked okay. I might have missed something. Does anybody know if these things are related to the same issue? The car was taken apart to be painted (fenders, doors). At first I figured they just did not hook things back up right, but for all three to be out seems odd.

They’re not related by design.
It’s easy to see how they messed up the power locks.
Because they took the doors off chances are good they failed to reconnect them properly.
Might be a problem as small as dirty connectors.
You can remove the door lock PB panel and use a voltmeter to see if voltage is getting to the orange wire.
The car does not have to be on for this test.
If the wire is getting voltage, probe the Locks Relay located under the knee bolster.
The orange and black striped wire should also have voltage.
