I know this an old post but I thought I would help out any new Chrysler/Dodge owners. I have a 2005 Chrysler Town & Country Touring and recently the power door locks stopped working electronically. Manually they still worked but that was it. So with the help of this blog I figured out it is a common problem. So I called my local Chrysler dealership and scheduled a repair and told them what was going on and that I needed the computer reset permanently rather than having to disconnect the battery every other day. So took it in and they said this is a known issue (they called it a bulletin) and they needed to "flash" the computer and it cost $86 plus tax. Took them a couple of hours to do. So hope that helps. As a temporary fix if you disconnect your battery for a few minutes it does reset it.

I took my caravan in and they shouldn't have charged for the Flash. Does Microsoft charge of their upgrades. But more importantly the flash didn't work. We needed to have the entireBody Control Module replaced. When they did that it was a bad unit and the same thing happened. When I returned to the dealer they tested the car with their meter and it said the passenger door lock was broken. But in reality the meter wasn't reading correctly because we had pulled the plug on the battery and door locks were working fine. So they refunded our money for the second visit and sent our BCM out and returned with a new one. Now we haven't had any problems. It is the BCM alone and nothing else except your time and money. Their meters are faulty with these connections. Good Luck!!!

Hello Lance76, Just read your post..... I have the exact same problem with the water leaking on the passenger side grab handle. I am trying to figure out where it could possibly be coming from but can't figure it out. The sunroof drip tray is not clogged and I can't figure out where else it could possibly be coming from. It is somehow running down the headliner, then down the plastic trim piece where the grab handle is. From there is leaking on to the floor. I was hoping you may have found the solution for yours . Did you have any luck finding he problem? Please let me know . I could use all the help I can get on this one. Thanks a bunch!

#179 of 411 sliding doors do not work by stlwinner

Mar 20, 2009 (7:12 pm)

I've read through the posts but I'm not sure that my problems are the same. The driver's side sliding door will pop open but will not slide open or closed. When closed manually, the motor will pull the back side in fully. The passenger's side will not pop open, but the motor will pull the back side in fully once manually closed. Both door will unlock. The driver's side stopped working about 2 months ago. The passenger's side stopped today. Any clue what is wrong?

problems, problems also here..
our 2005 T & C touring van has door issues.
 
the one on the left will open but not close all the way. what is up with that?
Our rear hatch has been acting up even longer: when I hit the remote either inside the van or key- it will get almost up and than start going back down to close. I than have to tap the remote a 2nd time to go all the way up. Oh and I cannot close it manually anymore either..

#181 of 411 Rear power lift gate not working by geinsteder

Apr 03, 2009 (5:27 pm)

Here is a quick description of the problem. When the power switch is pressed either from the key or upfront the door will go up about 3/4 of the way and stop then come back down. I need to stop it and try it again than it will work. Even when it is up all the way sometimes it wont let me pull it back down manually. It feels like its stuck up. I need to push a power button to get it to come down. So with that said what is going on/
 
Thanks everyone. 2005 t&c touring

The passenger sliding door will only power open a short ways then must be moved manually.
 
Does anyone know why this happens and if there is an easy fix?
 
Thanks.
