Door locks not working?

2006 Dodge Caravan 6 cyl Automatic

my caravan has power locks, and they recently stopped working all together. Both lock buttons neither lock or unlock the whole vehicle. I was woundering if you knew of a solution, I thoght it might be a fuse, however there are'nt any fuses labeled for the power locks.

A lot of people have this issue. You can usually make a temporary fix by removing the IOD fuse (20 amp) from the fuse box located next to the battery (under the hood) for about 1-2 minutes then replacing it.

For some this fix lasts a long time, others need a reprogramming of the computer. The price of this varies quite a bit ($90 - $190). See your dealer.

The power locks, don't work with the remote[ the lights and horn work when you push the remote lock]. The driver and passenger lock switch on both doors when pushed does nothing. Also the side power doors won't open when pushed on the remote.I don't think its a battery issue on the remote, because the lights flash and horn honks when you try to lock doors with remote. The owners manual says to put key in ignition and turn it to on position and then back to off position four times fast. After the fourth time it states to push door lock switch and a chime will sound. The chime does sound, but the locks still don't work. It was suppose to reset something, but I still can't lock the doors. Thank You

Thankfully the fix was easy. Disconnect the battery cables and pull the BCM Body Control Module fuse from the fuse box. Reinsert the BCM fuse back into the fuse box after 5 seconds. Connect battery cables. It resets the system. My door locks are working fine again.

My power door locks quit working on my 2005 Dodge Caravan. My remote key no longer locks or unlocks the doors (although the lights flash as expected). Also, none of the interior door lock buttons work. I assume it could be a fuse, however my owner's manual does not list a specific fuse for the power door locks. Any ideas?

I had some problem been watching yours
fount this answer I found and it worked

I disconnected the battery cable and pulled the BCM fuse and the system reset and the door locks are working fine again.

The fuses are in the picture attached below

Thanks pawneejo! I also got my power door locks working. I pulled and reinstalled (but did not replace) all fuses and fuse blocks (but not the relays). The locks started working after that.

Thanks, it worked for me too. Just a another problem with this pathetic excuse for a car. Has anyone else been having cronic brake problems with thier grand caravan? :(

Thanks it worked for me as well. Power door locks died after a long trip. Took off the fuse disconnected battery reconnected battery reconnect fuse and my doors work now.

Wow, That did the trick for me. That beats bringing it to the Dealer. Thanks for the fix!

Great to find I was not the only one with this problem! Glad someone had already found a solution too.

On my 2005, I found that just removing and replacing the 20A IOD fuse did the trick.

IOD stands for IgnitionOff Draw. Removing it is something akin to disconnecting the battery cable but, I suppose, only for the accessories, etc. That draw power when the ignition switch is off. I.E. Everything is still connected but really off. (Kind of like unplugging the TV.)

May not work for everyone but it is a lot easier than disconnecting the battery and/or yanking all the fuses.

Like nsstaff said, remove and put back in place the IOD fuse. Try this before disconnecting the battery. Works for me!

I just pulled the one 20Amp fuse mentioned above, and it reset perfectly.

Thanks for info guys - but how do you stop it from happening - this is the third time in 90 days that it has happened to me.

I am having a problem with my 1993 Caravan. The power locks aren't working. The relay clicks when I trip the switch but no locking or unlocking. I tried the battery disconnect, didn't work. I just bought the car and the previous owner had an alarm removed from it by a friend (because she lost the remote) so I am wondering if whoever disconnected the remote somehow disconnected the power locks? How would I check this? I am not a car person but don't want to pay a fortune for a mechanic to fix this. Coming from the steering column there are two white wires (one with a red stripe) that are twisted together and a red and blue one that have been cut and go nowhere (can't tell if they are supposed to). Can anyone help? Everything works great except the power locks. Thanks.

I have to reset mine about every 5th or 6th time the doors lock/unlock. I paid about $300 for a new computer chip of some sort about a month ago because only the driver door wouldn't lock/unlock and they tell me this is something else but will cost about $180 just to look at and see. What a rip off.
My Caravan is a 2005 and removing and reinserting the IOD fuse fixes this for a short time anyway.
Any ideas? :Cry:

My 2005 dodge caravan sxt had a backpack strap caught under the liftgate a couple of weeks ago. Ever since we got it out the power locks have not worked either with the switch inside or the remote. Fuses all seem to be good.

Regarding the power locks, does anyone know how to open the rear tailgate if the power locks don't unlock it or the key. I hear the motor/regulator kick in but it doesn't unlock? All other locks are working fine.
