When I try to open the door with the key it usually unlocks all the other doors. Now it only opens the door I stick the key in.Is there a electronical failure or is there a burnt out fuze or what? Help!

could be a fuse if you're lucky
go to my page (link in sig) and goto the how-to section; in there is a pic of which fuses control what so you'll know which ones to check
I would post it here, but geocities is gay
also, it could be your door lock timer going bad. This is often seen when your locks start working intermitently. You can try to resolder it and that sometimes helps or you could buy a new one.
check out www.kalebonline.com for info about that

Try it.
Everything might be fine.

SE takes one turn for all doors
or at least that's how it was for my 89GXE and 93 SE

Thanks for the input. I went to your site and printed out the sheet for the fuse colors and etc. I was looking for the power unlock function, which was the light blue one you said. It said that it was on the right of the steering column....I couldn't find it. Where is it? I even got the service manual when I was at the auto store and I didn't find the location of the fuse...I guess you can tell that I'm not good with books. Help.

there is a seperate one for fuses; all the fuses are located in the lower left part of the dash on the drivers side
there is a small panel that you can pull out to get to them

weird,
I guess my car is just special
I'm almost positive that mine works that way, but maybe I'm wrong then. I rarely use my key since I installed my keyless entry so maybe that's why I'm confused
sorry about the bad info; like I said before, check your fuses and if not, its probably the door lock timer

also, door lock timers only came on 91-94 I think
several people have resoldered the door lock timer (takes about 10 minutes if you know how to solder) and it has worked since
I did mine the other day (my door locks weren't working all the time and it was getting more adn more frequent) and haven't had any problems since (been about a week)

It takes just one turn of the key to unlock all the doors in my 91 SE.

I think you looked at the wrong think; that is the wire colors for putting in keyless entry and stuff like taht
there is a seperate one for fuses; all the fuses are located in the lower left part of the dash on the drivers side
there is a small panel that you can pull out to get to them

krukrupah - sorry about that. I can't find the door locks on there either. I thought it was on there. Anyway, I would just pull out each fuse one at a time and look. There are only 15 or so and the only harm might be losing your radio presets

I installed my own and made it work with the stock alarm too
lock, unlock, arm, disarm, trunk pop and remote windshield squirters ( I push both buttons on my keychain and the squirters turn on and spray anyone to the sides of my car
