Door locks (locking
Hey,
I have a 2000 Town and Country. Today, out of the blue, the door locks suddenly started to lock and unlock themselves. When I pressed the remote control the doors would unlock then lock by themselves. When I got out of the car and shut the door, the doors would lock all by themselves. When I was driving I could hear the locking of the door locks. It was like having a ghost in the car. The other thing is the passenger door lock switch worked sporadically. I disconnected the interior lock switch but it made no difference. I did read that this could be a problem related to the car battery. I attached a battery charger to the car and waited 15 minutes. When the charger was attached and I hit the lock button the car remained locked. I also tried removing the fuse and reinstalling it. At any rate, does anyone have or have had this problem with their T&C. Ps. Three weeks ago the car had a hard start as if the battery was dead. I cleaned the terminals and thought that was that. The battery is three years old and seems fine.

- get the battery properly read by - 99.9% of the UK garages do not have a decent battery tester including Halfords & KwikFit
Sounds like battery battery battery to me, in any case the battery is the first DIY on the diagnostic ladder. If it's like that in the summer the cold weather will kill it completely. Can I assume you are an infrequent short journey user ? Pull the battery and give it a full slow low amp charge cycle of at least overnight. Then what happens ?
