2005 Electric Locks Wont Work

[MarkAce1976]

I have a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 3.3l, It has electric locks with keyless remote entry...About 1 motnh ago the locks would not work on the inside switches or by keyless remote (except tailgate)...I took a look at the fuse box, but no specific fuse was out or loose...I pulled and returned all of the fuses and it fixed the problem for 3 days...The problem soon returned, so I did the same thing and it worked this time for 1 week...Now I have pulled all the fuses out inspected them all and returned them, no help, my locks still don't work electricly...Please help

Welcome to AF! If it is a 2005 it should be under warranty. It sounds like the BCM has gone bad that will not allow the remote to work. It could also be a wiring problem. The dealer should be able to take care of it for you under warranty.

No guarentee this will be your fix, but pull your battery cables for at least 10 minutes. While they are off, clean your posts and cables. When you reinstall, make sure they are good and tight. Also reinstall pos first neg second. If it's a communication issue between modules, this will often reset them. A loose connection could cause the communication issue. Let us know how you make out.
One last thing, after disconnecting battery, the van may run a little rough for a few trips while it reteaches itself.

I tried this solution on my wife's van this morning and it freakin worked. Saved me a trip to dealer and a few hours or all day wait, THANKS SO MUCH

Try removing the battery cables and wait few minutes then put pos back on then Neg, worked for me
