Description of the problem	Door locks on 2005 dodge grand caravan quit working, have spoke w/many on internet and it's a common problem. There is a tsb about this but dodge will not repair without charging $100-$250. 00 your door locks are controlled by the body control module (bcm). The bcm monitors the current draw on the lock and unlock circuits, and when it goes across a threshold it will disable the locks to preserve itself from damage. If a circuit was shorted to ground and the bcm kept trying to drive the locks it would damage itself. The original bcm software on the 2005 vans was a little sensitive to this, and over time when the lock solenoids in each door start to naturally use a little more current, the bcm can set a fault code and disable the locks a little prematurely. The bcm software was revised to make it more fault tolerant to stop this from happening prematurely. The fix is to reprogram the bcm software. This is done with a dealer scan tool, and takes about a half hour of labor to perform.
