door locks will not function, neither switch on driver door or passenger door will lock or unlock the doors, remote does not either but will activate horn and lights. I recently replaced driver side mirror, locks did not operate while wires to mirror heater were disconnected but did work when mirror heater wires were held together. Locks functioned for a day after new mirror was installed with wires connected to heater leads.

I have the same problem with my 2005 Caravan.
I have found that there is TSB instructing thatthe Body Control Module must be re-flashed!
My mechanic cannot do this, so i'll be taking it to Dodge dealer.
