Electric door lock and windows
I know they have a trend to go on the earth in the doors. main ground is behind the dash, take the panel out and looking up you can see it, usually if this has gone hear you lose dash lights and a list of other stuff from heater control etc. there is also a earthing point under the battery and one under the windscreen cover. there is also one under the centre console near to the hand brake. one above the the glove box on pass side. if you have problems with the ground it is some time better just to make your own. find the ground wire and drill a hole in a good spot. and use a self tapping screw and earth it from there. if this is the only problem you have the ground wire may have broken some were in a moving part or even one of the seat runners. heated seats would not work if you have them fitted.
