Tl- the contact owns a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that the air bag light randomly illuminated and the horn also failed.

Sr.
Power lock function stopped working on my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan. Power door locks could not be activated using the power door lock switches on the driver's door, the passenger door, the key fob, and the 15 mph auto lock feature. Attempting to activate power door locks from the key fob gives a false indication that the doors have locked since the horn beeps without the doors locking. Not having the auto-lock feature and not having control of the power door locks from the driver or passenger doors is a safety hazard for passengers exiting the vehicle in case of emergency.
Air bag light illuminated, no horn or cruise control. Indicative of a failed clockspring as in earlier models. This condition existed at purchase so exact date mileage of initial failure unknown.
My power door locks no longer work. We can pull the fuse and put it back and they will work for a few days. One time our battery died and after charging the door locks worked for a few weeks. Also the power window on the driver side intermittently does not work and now every time I open the door the horn blows.
The power door locks on this 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan just stopped working. Key fob sounds horn when locking, but locks do not engage. Very dangerous for travel as locks do not engage when vehicle reaches 18 mph.
Air bag sensor light stays on now and the horn does not work when pressed, but will work when the panic button is pressed.

2005 Dodge Grand Caravan 48,000 miles. Power door locks failed. Disconnected battery and cleaned terminals: locks worked for a week. Replaced battery and they worked for another week. Consulted web forum, which recommended removing door lock fuse for 5 seconds. This worked for another week. Now believe that body control module (bcm) needs replacing, which is expensive (over $700). Web forums reveal hundreds of same complaints about '05 caravan. Big safety problem is that when remote lock is activated, horn beeps, signifying doors are locked, though they are not. This poses the danger that someone could enter the van at night undetected and assault the driver or hijack the car when owner returns. Chrysler corp. Should be compelled to fully repair this fault by a general recall.
Power door locks fail to operate. Remote keyless entry fails to operate. Power lift doors fail to operate. Simple disconnect of battery fixes issue temporarily. Keyless entry honks horn as if it's locking, but no doors lock.
