2000 Caravan - No lights or locks if key off

Hi Glen,
I'll check the connections in the morning. I did not have the key on while
changing the relays. Since the electric locks should work without the key
on, I just changed a relay then used my FOB to try to unlock the doors. I
continued that process through all the relays in the PDC.

Have the fault codes in the BCM checked. clear all the codes, If the problem
is still there recheck to see what codes came back. This is going to take a
scan tool that reads more then just P codes from the engine controller
