| Description of the problem | Automatic door locks on 2005 dodge caravan (96,000 miles) quit working all of the sudden. I discovered the problem when i took 3 kids to the mall & tried to lock the doors & nothing happened. I have had to pull the iod fuse & replace it twice now in 3 days just to be able to lock my doors. It isn't an option to not lock the doors but i really can't keep pulling the fuse & having to reset the clock every day or so. This is a major issue as there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of caravan owners with the same exact problem. |
