Group, My last comments for now about the door lock module. Again, I'm not 
making a case to save them, just pointing out some things that I have found. 
A fuse or a circuit breaker is current sensing electro mechanical devise made 
to protect something. Whether it's a module or a hair dryer. Some fuses blow 
and you have to replace them and other fuses like the CB trip and self heal. 
Match the current needed to the circuit and the lag time for the circuit to 
trip the protection devise. The circuit breaker has a slow response time to 
the current flow. By using the lower current/amp CB, you tighten up the 
response time for it to trip, thus saving the devise your trying to protect. 
40 amp CB are to slow to respond in this circuit, that will allow the circuit 
to burn up or blow a diode or something. The Module already has 1000 mf cap's 
in the circuit to lessen the spark, and the coils of the relay's are 
activated by the door lock switch. These have virtually no current on them 
and will almost last forever. 
To sum it up, 1st, I'm not trying to build a door lock module, 2nd, the 10amp 
or 15 CB amp will help protect, 3rd, I do have better relay to go into the 
module if you want to update it, and 4th, if you will lubricate to mechanical 
mechanism that activates the locks and make sure the door lock switch handle 
isn't a compromising position, you may not have a problem with the module 
failing. Bob, has done I'm sure a great design on this module and I have 
other fish to fry at this point. 
Thanks
