The power door locks and the interior quit working at the same time. I have checked both of the interior fuse panels and the panel under the hood. All check OK Do not know how to check the breakers. Just seems to have lost total power.

    I have a 2002 Taurus with the similar door-lock and interior light problem. It first occurred during a storm. Problem resolved itself after car dried out in a few days. Can't wait until next storm!!

    My heater blower stopped working on intermittent speeds after the same storm (resistor block failed). Mechanic replaced block, and it failed again in a few days (after another storm). Mechanic found that blower was drawing excessive current. Replaced motor and new resister block.

    I found a Ford TSB 04-15-3 that addresses the blower problem (basically, install a water shield and plug some holes)..

    Still looking for answer to door-lock / interior light problem.
