RE: [DMCForum] locks left/right

The doors are mounted on hinges and connected to the torsion bar, then to
the roof support.  There is no metal between that and the rest of the car as
far as I know.

Take your meter and measure between the door frame itself on either side of
the car and the battery/module.

Hmm... I'm not so sure about that.  The door lock solenoids get their
ground through the door, not through a ground wire, so there's obviously a
ground connection there somewhere.  It may still be through a wire
somewhere, but it's obviously not (just) the ground wire on the wipe
switch plug.
