Auto door lock stopped working

I did a brief search and couldn't find anything specific to the Voyager, but I found this on the Intrepid, and it may work in your case; it's worth a try, in any case:

=== In the 2000 you get in the car and have all the doors unlocked. Put the key in the ignition and turn the car to the on position then back to the off position 4 times. Then depress the lock button on the drivers side. You should hear a chime indicating that the command was accepted. ===

Does that help?

Garner,

Thanks for the tip - it worked like a champ. It would sure be nice if these things were documented somewhere in official documentation that owners could get hold of. This is the third time odd things like this have happened to me and this vehicle where the solution was some odd combination of console settings, button presses, etc. Thanks again.

Glad it worked. I know SOME of those things are documented in my PT Cruiser's manual -- things like disabling the horn chirp when the doors lock and the alarm arms. I don't have it handy right now to see if they've finally put the auto door lock thing in the book, too. Thank goodness for the internet. :-)

Glad you're back in business.

Chrysler must haved saved expenses on printing by deleting that information from the owners manual in 1998 - or maybe they only included it in Town & Country owners manuals. I have a '96 T&C LXi and the procedure is explained (along with diagram) on pages 16 & 17 under "Power Door Locks" in the section "Things to Know Before Starting Your Vehicle". Maybe they felt it was no longer necessary to document it "somewhere in official documentation that owners could get hold of" since they had already done that when the new design was introduced in 1996!!!!!

I have a 96 Dodge Caravan and those auto locks drive me nuts. Is there a similar way to turn them off?

I'm going to try this on my 93 Voyager. Sometimes we can't even enter the van excepte thru the sliding door. When we turn the key in the lock, it feels like the servo motor is pressing right back against the effort. I'll see if there is a fuse or replay also.

So, what's the name of the nag you ride?

Worked, thanks. I have owned that vehicle for 8 years and never knew you could turn that on and off.

I have a '96 Chrysler T&C LXi with the same feature. Instructions for doing this are detailed in the manual, pages 16 & 17. I am sure it is printed in your Dodge manual also.
