Just got finished installing new blower motor. Now my central locks dont work. Already checked the fuse. Any help on this would be very appreciated.

    Central Locking system 200 1987

    While inside the driver side door to get to the window regulator, I tinkered around with the connections to the central lock--not knowing at the time what it was or that the car even had such a system.

    To my surprise, the next time I locked the car with the key, I heard a chorus of locks--including the trunk, which I had up to that point been locked out of.

    So try going through the connections, disconnecting, reconnecting where you can and generally doing a basic snug up. It can't hurt, and if you're lucky like I was, you might hit paydirt. Worst case scenario is you may learn something else about something else.

      Phil's on the right track- the two relays for this (one lock, the other unlock) live right in the center top of the dash. They are below the two center vents and you ought to be able to see them if you loosen the plastic center console and lean it back. Not easy but it can be done.
      Also, just inside the left console side panel, is a plug-in connector about even with the top edge of the carpet for the lock system. It contains wires to the rear doors and trunk or hatch. You would have had to unplug it or pull it way out of the way to get the fan out. Make sure it's plugged in. You might have lost the one end down into the carpet and not noticed. It's down by the turn signal flasher relay, and has blue wires in it.
      Good luck, hope this helps.
