Description of the problem	The other day my automatic locks ceased to work in the 2005 grand caravan sxt. The door switch, key remote and when the car goes over 20mph did not lock the doors at all. Have looked in the manual, no help. From what i understand, i will have to take the van in to the dealer to have them change the software in the body control module. Since there is no recall on this, i will have to pay $150-200 to have it repaired. Since this is such a safety issue, we will take the van in, but after reading the internet sites--many other people are having this problem. I have also had several problems with the lights going off without notice (while i have them switched on). Eventually they will come back on, but there are times they do not come back on while i am driving. Another safety issue reported on the internet by other users. This has happened several times a year since i have had the van. Electrical problems exist with this van and have since i purchased it new. Lights going on and off, doors not working when buttons were pushed (should be automatic after buttons pushed), windows not working at all when button is pushed (eventually work--happens several times a year) and now the locks do not work at all. The door controls were eventually replaced by the dealer under warranty because they eventually would open so slowly. This problem was reported to the dealer over six times in the first year of ownership. Replaced and have worked fine since.
