| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 dodge grand caravan. The power door lock stop working when the wireless remote is press it will not lock the doors. If i disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and leave it disconnected for 5 minutes it will work again. I have to do this every other day. I hear same people having this problem have taking the car back to the dealer and the dealer have charge $130 to reprogram the bcm. If so many people in the internet are having the same problem the dealer should not be charging this crazy amount since is problem with the software in the bcm. |
