The power remote door lock has quit working. This seems to be a common BCM problem I have looking at the JC Whitney Keyless entry system that scans the vehicle for codes . Will this system be able to retrieve the Door lock codes? Are there anyother keyless remote systems that will apply to my Mini Van. I tried all of the quick fixs ie remove/replace fuse, disconnect/connect ground, reflashed BCM. ---

Is the door lock, or unlock, the only problem? How about the door ajar indications? Does the driver’s door control over the door locks work? Is the engine a 3.3L or a 3.8L? ---

yes the door lock unlock is the only problem. Door ajar is ok. Engine is 3.3L ---

Does the driver’s door lock / unlock switch work? Is the problem only unlock with the remote; or, does it fail to lock with the remote? ---

Do the other doors’ lock / unlook SWITCHES work? If none of them work, the BCM (Body Control Module) would be at fault. If only one, the door lock switch / ciruitry. ---

I know the BCM is bad. I asked in my original post if a after market [JC Whitney] Key remote that learns the codes from the the vehicle would work. The kit uses the original door acuators
