door lock springs

[Bluesj]

Just spent an hour or so replacing the lock springs, now the power lock will not pull it up or down the spring is way to tight any suggestions?

Check the voltage at your power door locks, I will almost bet you are getting 9-10 volts.. Apply battery voltage ~12.5 and see if the locks can overpower the springs then.
