Our van is continuously locking its doors. I took the batteries out of the keyfob and it still does it. Then, while poking around for a stuck lock/unlock switch I noticed that the car does not lock itself when the rear passenger side is open. If I push the sensor that determines if the door is shut with my finger, it starts again. That particular door does not have a switch on it, only a manual release.

HI
Locate control module behind right kick panel. There are two Lt. Blue wires that provide power signal to lock doors. check for voltage if present then a lock switch is faulty . if no voltage then control module.
Thanks for donate
