In owners' own words
I have a 2005 Chrysler Town And Country it started with my locks stopping working I disconnected it and than it worked for a couple of weeks than it would go out again. Now my abs and traction control light came on and quit working for a week now the light went out and works I tried the battery thing again but did not work. I'm afraid the computer may stop working when diving. I only have 48,000 miles on it. Electrical system · reported at 30,000 miles
Power locks dont work. Tried resetting iod fuse and unplugging battery. Locks works a few times then stops working. This is a safety and security feature. I have read so many complaints on this issue. Passenger seat belt does not set when put on. If in an accident passengers se as t belt will not restrain. We just bought this van and the two previous owners said locks hasn't worked correctly since 2005. Electrical system
