Central locking fixed! (long)

The central locking in my '86 SPG went out a few months ago. I replaced the door lock actuator motor and all was fine. I usually park the car inside, but it was parked outside when we got our first rain of the season. Central locking stopped working. Pulling the driver's door knob up or down did nothing and I could not hear the passenger or trunk actuators clicking. Yesterday I replaced the door lock actuator motor with a used unit and plugging and unplugging it would cause the door locks to work. But leaving it plugged in, doors locks would not work. I was about to give up when I decided to replace the door lock brain underneath the passenger foot well. The spare I had was from a newer 900, different part no, but when installed all locks worked! So it was the door lock brain that had gone bad. I had read that these could go bad, but what are the chances?
Thanks for listening.
Cliff
