Default Power door lock question

I have a 2007 Unlimited Wrangler and the power door locks suddenly stopped working when I cut the engine off in a parking lot. Suspecting a fuse, I checked the fuse box and sure enough the 25 amp fuse was blown. I replaced the fuse, and now the power door locks will open, but not lock... Hmmm... I figure it takes more amperage to throw the solenoids in all 5 doors to lock the mechanisms, as opposed to just opening them. Anyone else experience this problem? I am wondering what to do next. I am guessing that there is a master solenoid somewhere that throws power to all five doors at once, and perhaps that master solenoid has issues?
thanks in advance.

Did you find a fix? I have a similar problem with my locks.
Mine unlock with the button or fob just fine.
But very seldom lock with the button or fob. The fob sets the alarm when lock is hit but very seldom actually locks the doors.
