The electric door lock won't disengage on the drivers side door. My grandson was playing with it, locking and unlocking repeatedly.

Depending on the year and manufacturer, your local dealer should be able to adjust the setting with their service scan tool.

This is usually caused by broken plastic parts in the lock system. The best would be to verify and lub all locks and check out the elecrical.

The most likely cause of this is that the power door lock motor has failed, you will need to replace it. Please watch this video at YouTube.

Hope helps (remember rated this).

You should be able to manually unlock the door and open it,even without the power lock working.The center roller on these vans is prone to wear,causing binding and misalignment of the electrical connectors that you see when the door is open.This may cause the locks to be disabled and the door to not open with the power button.There are three rollers on each door,but many times only the center one is worn out.The installation & alignment of the rollers is critical on this vehicle,so you should consider the dealer for this repair. good luck

Its usually a bad ground or i have found corroded wires under the floor molding on the driverside just behind front seat there should be a splice , thats where my brothers was on his 04 ram. i think the windows was a yellow wire

hi deleon,

on your door, if you remove the panel from the inside, you should see a lever connected to the handle that is supposed to disengaged the door hinge opening the door.

your may have this part broken due to corrosion, or there is a possibility that the lock did not disengage leaving the lever connect to the door handle not disengaging the door hinge.

have this checked with a local mechanic or consult the service manual for DIY.

if you have other questions, just lemme know.

regards,

voodoo

you may need to get a slim jim to open the door to make the repairs -jeff please rate
