Auto door lock stopped working
I have a 1998 Voyager with electric door locks. This car has a safety
feature that causes all doors to lock automatically when the speed goes above 7 mph. This feature has stopped working for some reason. The electric locks still work fine when manually activated. Is there a computer setting that activates/deactivates this feature that I might have accidentally changed while punching buttons on the AC console? Any ideas on how to go about correcting this? Thanks. Robert |

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 R. Miller Clifton Park, NY =USA= |

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. -- Garner R.

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? |
