Great; I would have contributed an idea, but they covered what I would have
suggested. Glad you don't have to do the "B Crawl" for now!

VIN 1628s doors are now functional. Following the advice of Rick and John I
checked both lock switches but both worked. Turned out to be a faulty
connection in the battery box - doors came to life with a shake of the
wires. I will have to dive in there to check and clean all connections.
