| Description of the problem | Automatic door locks failed. Can't lock/unlock the doors using the key automatic lock or the switch on the doors. Have to manually lock and unlock all doors by hand. Fuse is fine and if you unhook the battery cable for a few minutes it resets and works for varied period of time afterwards but eventually quits. This is safety issue especially if you have kids or drive in parts of town this unsafe. It is ridiculous to have to maneuver through the van to lock all the doors. |
