2001 Pontiac Grand Am--drivers side door auto door lock button did not work; so I bought a new one and installed it. Now when you push lock, nothing happens. But, when you push open it locks. When the car is on, neither lock or open work. The passenger side automatic door lock seems to work fine.

You need a good auto-electrician. Something in the shifter is causing that fuse to blow. It must have some shared power. Your doors work fine. Take the control apart and check for chafing, and check all the way down to the transmission.
Sounds like your drivers side window regulator motor gear is bad as far as the other windows drivers door switch is most likely bad if you dont have experience working on electrical or have never taken apart a door panel I would recommend seeing a mechanic. To check the switch you have to disassemble passenger door panel accesa the window regulator motor disconnect the weatherpack connect hook up multimeter and test for power while having an assistant push the window switch down
Do the following steps
1)With ignition key on. ( a shrt time after turning off engine) press the red reset button located in fuse panel , located on drivers side of dash panel. You can see the panel cover when drivers side door is open.
2) When the cange oil light starts to flash, press and hold the red button again.
the reset is complete when you hear the chimes and the oil light goes off.

Lock and unlock both run off the same power supply...I'd be looking for a bad switch or a broken wire in the door harness where the wires go through the rubber boot between the door and pillar.
it should go to the window motor or the power locks or the power window button. check window motor with a test light for 12 volts at the plug. check regulator/pulley system for a broke cable.
PULL THE DOOR OFF MAKE SURE THE 2 LITTLE DOOR HANGERS ARE CONNECTED TO THE SWITCH MECHANISM IF IT IS. THEN YOUR SWITCH IS BROKE. GO TO SCHUCKS AND ASK THEM IF THEY CAN ORDER YOU A WHOLE NEW DOOR LOCK SWITCH ASSEMBLY. REWIRE AND TAA-DA!!!
Its easy to fix. A junkyard door handle will run you about $25.00. I bought mine new for 29.95.. unscrew it form the door screw on the inside of the door and the 2 cutting nuts and unhook the 2 cables going to it, which are fairly easy, remove the lock using the correct size torx bit and it should just come off, instalation is the same process, just in reverse. Good luck, hop it helps you!
I had the same problem with now power to windows, mirrors and seat. The common soulution is the orange and or black wire in the boot have broken between the door and post.
