DESPERATE! Automatic Power Door Lock Question & Problems
:ask_wsign I have a 99 Town & Country. My main questions is:
CAN YOU DISABLE THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK FEATURE?[/FONT]A few months ago, my passenger sliding door POWER lock stopped working - but the others were okay (and still work). A few days ago, as I started to drive away I jumped out of my skin when this horrible loud noise came from the back of the van. I eventually realized that it was the automatic door lock feature locking the doors as I reached the designated speed. It locks the doors, but I assume the motor or something is going bad cause the noise every time is UNBEARABLE! It almost scared my mom into a heart attack today when I picked her up for a ride. I'm sure it costs an arm and a leg to get it fixed (which I really can't afford after the holidays) so I'm wondering if there is a way to disable this thing so it doesn't freak me and my passengers out every time I drive off after a door's been opened. And, if you do know, what is the problem and how much is an estimated repair cost on this (and to fix my sliding door power lock). THANKS SO MUCH!
