2003 Chrysler Intrepid Power lock doesn't work

How horrible to have to reach six inches to push a button! Speed-sensitive door locks are run by the body computer. All the computers on cars today are extremely unreliable and expensive, but people buy cars based on all these novelties. Then, when a problem arises that requires replacement of a computer, we complain about high repair costs. I won't buy a car with all these computers, and I suspect it's why the manufacturers are having trouble selling their over-complicated cars.

Don't know about your car, but older Jeeps could have the programming changed by the customer. Instructions are in the owner's manual. On older Chrysler products, the programming is changed with the DRB3 scanner at the dealership. Most aftermarket scanners found in independent repair shops will not access the body computer. The procedure only takes a few minutes. Very often the dealer that sold you the van new will change the programming for free as a courtesy, but it's not uncommon for them to charge a half hour labor to help pay for the expensive equipment and training they are required to buy to work on all the computerized systems.
