| Description of the problem | 2005 dodge grand caravan-locked van prior to going to dinner . Noted it did not lock all the doors. Had to go in and manually lock all doors. Not sure how to lock the trunk. When we came out could not unlock doors had to go to only keyed lock and then send my son in to unlock the rest. Went to internet and found researched problem. Found i am not alone. Pulled fuse and reinstalled. This works for a short period of time before it has to be done again. No warning when it will happen. Wife is not big on doing this and i can't blame her. Car alarm sounds like alarm is set but unless you visually check you can't be sure. Aka van has been left unlocked when we thought it was ? In addition to a huge pain in the but this is a real safety issue when on tight streets with small kids(we have 5) . Unlocking the van and resetting the fuse or fumbling around to unlock the doors is not right. |
