What is causing the locks and rear windowhatch in your 1998 Chevy blazer to lock and unlock themselves when the car in running as well as when it is off?
If the locks and rear window hatch on a 1998 Chevy Blazer lock
and unlock by themselves, there is probably a problem with the fuse
or a short somewhere. The locks are supposed to lock when the
vehicle gets put in gear. Perhaps the system that tells the locks
when to lock is not working properly.

Possible the system is deactivated. 1. Sit in the driver seat,
turn the key on. 2. Hit the unlock doors button 3 time (within 5
sec of each other). 3. Turn the key off and hit the unlock 3 times
again. You should get a chirp from the horn. If this does not solve
your problem, you can try the same proceedure but hit the Lock
button Vs the unlock button

Asked in Car Fuses and Wiring, Ford Taurus, Chevy Blazer

No, that is not a fuse issue. I would suspect this is a switch

Asked in Car Fuses and Wiring, Chevy Suburban, Grand Am GT
Auto door locks on a 1995 grand am gt will not unlock with the button fuses are good?
The fuse for the power door locks is labeled courtesy or
"crtsy". The only way that the power door locks would stop working
altogether (no switch will trigger any door lock) is by blowing a
fuse or possibly cutting a main wire to the door lock system. If
somebody has worked on your electrical system or if you have had a
car stereo or alarm system installed this would be a lickely
scenario.
