1996 T&C Power Door Lock System

Hello all-

Hope you can help with my problem. My 96 Town & Country Door locks
work fine with the remote key fob. They work fine with the interior
switches. When I use the lock cylinder on either front door, they
re-lock themselves. I often try 3-to-5 times before they will stay
unlocked & allow me to enter the vehicle. This only happens with the
front doors. When I unlock with the key @ the liftgate, they function
normally. Any ideas, or is this going to cause me a trip to the
dealer??

Thanks-
Jug

This happened with my '96 T&C after I replaced the left outside door handle.
When the fuel module finally bit the dust and it was at my dealer I mentioned
this to my service writer. Turned out to be a faulty disarm switch, FP Number
4687619-AB - Switch DO 8053002 - Cost $28.03, Labor $147.75, Sub-Total $175.78,
minus discount $17.58, for a total of $158.20. Hope this helps.
