Be carefull using the slim jim there are lots of wires and a very expensive door module in there you dont want to break. save time and money and call dealer in a.m and get door key cut or call a lock smith.

SOURCE: Auto locks don't work.

Instead of pulling a fuse which will definately trip off another time, why not take it for reprogramming?

I recommend you get an expert in security locks to reprogramme the locks for your car.

Rate this please.

SOURCE: program second key fob

Your key can only be programed at the dealer. They have to use a scan tool and a unique id code that they get from the factory. It is done this way to help insure that the vehicle is less likely to be stolden.

SOURCE: I used a slim jim and now my door won't open from the outside.

Open up the door panel and put the control rod back on. that often happens when getting in that way...still cheaper than a locksmith or a window!! (clip is probably in the bottom of the door)

I am having this same issue with my 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan , I had it towed to the local Dodge Dealership. They just told me that it is the Wireless Control Module and it is going to cost $461.00 to replace it.

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan door lock button won't work on driver's side?

Question edited to add maker.
Question moved to model category.

The problem here is the wiring harness where it travels from the door into the door frame. Constant opening and closing of the driver's door bends the wires back and forth until they work harden and snap. This issue ONLY happens on the driver door.

Once you get inside there, you can check with a multimeter and replace that wire.

1996 dodge grand caravan le key fob doesn't work, batteries are good. Can I need to sync it or reset it?

I put a new battery in the key fob for a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan, and, at first, it still didn't work. Took it to the Dodge Dealer, who said the fob was dead. NOT SO! My husband put a little piece of cardboard on top of the battery so the battery contact was improved, and the fob works fine now.
