2006 Chrysler Town and Country: doors won't lock, open or latch

Filed Jan 10, 2018 · Electrical, Lights · 147,000 miles · MI

This car has experienced many electrical problems over the years some of which I've been able to deal with. The latest ones in the past year have to do with the lights and it's getting to be a safety problem. Within a few years of purchasing this auto, the automatic door lock on the slider stopped working. About seven years ago, the automatic window on the passenger side stopped working. I have dealt with those problems. Over the years there have been many light bulbs that have 'burned' out including taillights, parking lights, low and high beam lights. I've found ten receipts for repairs on those, but the most of them have been in the past two years. I was driving on a highway in the dark yesterday and tried to switch from low beam to high beam lights and they are 'burned' out again! Both lights were replaced 10/4/17. I'm afraid that I might find my lights not working at all because there's an ongoing problem that no one seems to know how to repair. This is not safe!!

The passenger side sliding door lock does not respond to the remote or inside control for locking and unlocking. It only works when controlled manually.

Electrical problems. Driving on vacation in heavy traffic (dc area) signals quick working. The left signal quit and then when I turned on right the left came on. Eventually all signals failed. (july 16, 2010) it continues to happen occasionally. Aug 8 the sliding door lock on driver side will not work except manually. Nothing repaired yet. Can't find the problem. Noted others having same issues.

Automatic sliding doors will not close. They make a clicking noise when I push the door close button. After repeated attempts it finally will close. This happens numerous times everyday for the past five months. Chrysler says that a new latch will be available in aug. 2007. It is now oct. 2007 and they still have not received the part. Also, battery died after 25,000 miles.
