There was a post in the
automotive forums recently
saying that the Door Lock Switches in the driver and passenger doors did not operate
properly (wound not unlock).
Here is some information I gathered from a couple of repair manuals for my own van.
The door locks are controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM). They
will lock or unlock when a few things happen, such as the door lock
switch is pressed on either the driver or passenger door (see schematic
below).
Here is the schematic for the door lock switches. Click on it for a larger view.
