Our Caravan has power everything. Recently, the power door locks stopped working. There is no fuse marked “locks” or anything like that. I pulled and replaced each one, and none were blown. After some more jiggling, the locks worked again - for about a week. Any thoughts?

There may be a break in the wiring running through the door jamb.

“After some more jiggling, the locks worked again-…”

What exactly were you moving when the locks reactivated?

Replace those fuses first and while they are out, spray some electrical contact cleaner in the slots.

Let us know how you make out, ok?
