Ford Focus: 2000 Focus Central Lock System Dead !

I had this car 5 years and a few days ago the door locks will not
automatically unlock or lock using the key remote or pushing any of
the buttons on the doors. The trunk lock button will not pop open
either, I looked in the ford owners handbook and it says there is a
fuse behind the fuse panel. All there is back there is a small module
which according to the Focus repair manual I read in a auto store, it
controls the Chimes, automatic light dimming and some other things but
no mention of the door locks. Anyone know of what else to check out
as to why the door and trunk locks stopped working ? I looked under
the hood at the other fuses and they checked out good although none
are related to the door locks according to the fuse chart..

This is a 2000 Focus model SE..

I have had the same problem with my 2000 focus. I read the owners manual
and finally found fuse 63 that they had noted. It is a 20-v fuse on the
back side of the fuse box under the dash. It's very tricky to get to, but
I think that might be the trick. I wasn't sure and then read from another
person on this sight that this seemed to help. I am definitely trying that
before I take it in anywhere. Good luck.
