Default Auto locks on 2005 SXT

The remote for the locks doesn't work or the lock/unlock switch in the van. If the remote is use the lights flash but locks will not unlock or lock.
Can not tell which fuse is for the power locks.

Default door locks

I pulled out or wiggled the fuses in the fuse box the locks worked foe a while then they stopped working. The rear hatch still works fine all this time. Do not have alarm on the car if that matters.

I had the same problem with my 2005 Grand Caravan & simply disconnecting the battery & removing from the car resets the computer. After reinstalling the battery the lock/unlock functions returned to normal........Hope this helps.........Ken.. P.S. had to do this several times over 2 1/2 to 3 yrs.
