| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 dodge caravan minivan. The door locks are supposed to automatically lock once vehicle reaches 5-10 mph. The switch to lock/unlock the doors inside the vehicle don't work either. I have a remote lock as well. Neither work now. It just stopped a month ago. I have to manually lock the doors. Fuses are removed and negative battery cable is removed and it resets something that allows them to work again, but after a few days it's back to not working. This could be a safety issue, in my opinion, that with the doors not being locked in an accident i could fall out, or if it won't unlock i cannot get out quickly in an accident either. |
