door locks

Now that we all know where the 'bong' is kept ;-) can anyone answer this:

The door locks are so erratic on my 93 Voyager, I want the disable them
completely.
Sometimes we can't get in except thru the sliding door. Is there a fuse or is
this circuit
exclusive to the BCM? Short of cutting the damned wires heading into the door
itself?
I see no fuse in my Chilton manual wiring diagrams.

You are saying that there are times you cannot unlock either of the front
doors even if you try using the key?

 

Yes. When turning the key to unlock, the servo motors either push right back
(left door) as I turn it or lock as soon as I release the key (right door).
I can unlock the sliding door, reach around and unlock the right door, then
climb across the van and unlock the left door manually.

Really sucks when raining.

 

Sounds like the Body Computer or factory alarm if so equipped. There's a
switch on the back side of the lock cylinder that senses when the key is
turned to disable the factory alarm and its telling the body computer that
the switch is being thrown and the computer is sending a signal to lock the
doors again for some reason. I think they use to be able to cancel the auto
lock feature using the diagnostic computer at the dealer but that was for
when the locks engage when you start driving so not sure if would help in
your case.

 

Many Chrysler cars have several door lock switches and other switches
resistive multiplexed on a single wire. If you get water in one of
the door lock switches all sorts of odd things can happen. You can
replace the switches or just unplug the cable from the switches in the
doors.
You may have a bad body computer but most of the time it is rusty
water in a switch.
