Default Lost Power locks on '00

Yesterday my power locks went out including the trunk release on my 2000 Impala. I opened the fuse panel and checked the fuse seeing that the fuse had blown. I threw in a spare and it immediately blew as well. Any ideas what could be causing this?

The fuse blew immediately ... then there is a dead short.

Could be a chaffed wire wire in one of the doors or for the trunk release solenoid.

Any repairs or modifications done recently??

make sure you replaced the fuse with the same 15, 20 amp whatever it was, if it is say a 20 and u puta 10 in it would prolly pop immediately, but ya you prolly have a short
