Can I disable power locks?

Can I disable power locks so I have to manually lock or unlock the doors?

I'm having some problems with my power locks on my 2000 XJ; the motor for the rear hatch sometimes has a mind of it's own while the car is parked; this drains the battery and makes for unexpected hard starts sometimes. Can I pull a fuse or do something to to disable them completely without affecting the power windows too?
 
Pulling the plug will not fix the likely short circuit.

One fuse covers the windows/lock/mirrors.

Trace the tail gate wire harness and find the damaged or short circuited wire. Wiring issues are very common in the drivers door, you should also have look inside there also.
