Chrysler Repair/Power door locks not working: '05 T & C

Expert: - 1/21/2012


Question
the power door locks are not working.
Doors don't lock when you accelerate, or with the switch in the vehicle, or with the remote.
We thought it might be a fuse, but cannot find in the manual which fuse it would be or where it would be located
The vehicle is a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country
I would be grateful for your input
Thank You

Answer
Hi Ernie,
The power door locks are mediated by the body computer and that requires fuse 14 (20 amp) and fuse 19 (40 amp) to be functional. So look at those carefully to be sure they aren't blown or have a crack in their wire.  Fuse 14 is located at the front of the box next to a 'spare' relay socket, and fuse 19 is in the next row back on the other side of the box, 3rd one in from the edge of the box.
