clifford door locks quit advice?

Short story. Both door lock actuators stopped working after the battery went dead.

I have a Clifford Ace 300, installed in 1997, with aftermarket lock actuators on the front doors. It was installed in a 1994 Jeep Cherokee.

A few weeks ago after it sat for about four days, it would not start. It was a dead battery (not sure why). After charging, still nothing. I pulled the fuses and relays and one in the engine compartment kinda sparked and everything seemed to work. It started, and alarm works...everything except the door lock actuators. So logically, something has happened to the door lock function since its both actuators. I've tried tried turning on and off the Auto lock/auto unlock function in the owners manual....but nothing.

Is there something else I can do to get them working? Is there a fuse for just the door locks or something? I've looked all over but can't find anything. The alarm has worked flawless for over 15 years, I'd like to keep it.

Thanks.

Maybe low voltage. Is vehicle charging? 13.8 volts?
Does the alarm arm? Fuse in brain?

Are the lock actuators controlled by a 451m by chance? Or some similar device? That also has a fuse on the 12 volt side.

Everything is working fine now. No dead battery issues since then. The alarm arms and disarms fine and will go off when I make it. I can't find any other fuses. The brains are still waaaaay under the dash and I haven't unhooked and pulled that down yet. I'm hoping to find out for sure if there is another fuse somewhere before I get under there.
