It could be that they have seized because of rust or something, spray with WD40 and then retry. Make sure they are the correct keys

SOURCE: 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan Driver Door Lock/Unlock Switch

sorry not sure the 12v prob will help this swtich works on 5v off 3v unlock 1v lock single wire lock/unlock logic signals
I found wiring diagrams at
http://www.dodge.com/bodybuilder/2004/docs/wd/rswd/tc.pdf
it is 2004 but use the wiring diagrams to test the wires
(most likely to fail where they flex)
because it is using logic gates disconnect the plug at each end of the wire you are testing or the damn thing will find a few diffrent ways to trick you.

SOURCE: 2006 Dodge Caravan - ONE power door lock stopped working

i have replaced many sliding door lock actuators on these vehicles..dealer part..mostly on passenger side sliding door..also possible you have a broken wire in door track harness..follow wiring from door into what looks like a plastic chain in door track at door opening

SOURCE: 2005 Grand Caravan power door lock quit working.

The lock actuator is probably broken in that door. We got one of the internet for 80$ and replaced it outselves and it solved this problem. IOD fuse is very temporary fix as system is sensing problem and flipping to protect itself like the breaker switches in the house.

The sliding door on the driver side is stuck closed and will not unlock either manually or electonically. I have the panel off and the black plastic pulled down, but am unable to get the electical lock(?)...

disable door lock...Close all of the doors of the Caravan and insert the key into the ignition.

Move the key to the "ON" position, and then back to the "OFF" position. Repeat this step four times.

Press the driver's side door lock to the "LOCK" position within 10 seconds of turning the ignition to the "OFF" position. If done properly, a single chime will emit from the Caravan to indicate that you have disabled the auto-lock feature.

also a good video on how to remove door lock on Caravan....youtube.
hope this helps a little

LOST KEY AND REMOTE TO A 1996 DODGE CARAVAN, i WENT TO DODGE TO HAVE NEW KEY MADE AND WAS GOING TO GO BACK FOR NEW REMOTE, HOWEVER IN THE MEAN TIME i LOCKED VEHICLE AND NOW IT WON'T REPROGRAM BECAUSE IT IS...

If unlocking the Van via the door locks wont disarm the alarm it's because the alarm harness have become detached. The door panel will have to be removed and the harness manipilated manually to disarm the alarm. Or you can have a new remote programed

01 dodge grand caravan driver side door wont unlock, something to do with gas cas door. checked gasdoor still wont un lock....HELP!!!!!!!!!!! think it may be a relay or some type of elec problem...

Ok get in car. close all doors. Put key in ignition cycle key four times on & off. DO NOT START. Within 10 seconds of the final cycle, press the drivers door lock switch to the lock position. If you here a single chime you have reprogrammed the power door locks. This can be done of throught the EVIC system if the van has the system. If problem does not go away lock motor is bad

96 Caravan Sport back door won't open

remove the panel from the rear hatch and you will notice a piece of the sound deadener has moved up against the power lock activater,the sound deadener is made up of a rubbery tar kind material that goes almost gooey when warm,as far as the key,keep spraying a penetrating oil inside the door lock and gently but forcibly work the key in and out and back and forth but do not twist too much and break the key off
