Key locked in van - Town & Country Chrysler Cars & Trucks

It's possible that the locking mechanism in your Vivaro van's driver's door has become jammed or broken, causing your key to turn without unlocking the door. Here are a few things you can try to get your door unlocked:

1. Try another key: If you have a spare key, try using it to unlock the door. If the spare key also doesn't work, then it's likely a problem with the locking mechanism.
2. Spray lubricant into the lock: Sometimes, the locking mechanism can become jammed due to dirt or debris. Try spraying a lubricant such as WD-40 or graphite powder into the lock and then gently turning the key to see if this helps.
3. Use a lock de-icer: If the weather is cold, the lock may be frozen. Try using a lock de-icer to thaw the lock before attempting to turn the key.
4. Call a locksmith: If none of the above methods work, it's best to call a locksmith or a professional mechanic to help you gain access to your van.

In any case, it's important to get the issue fixed as soon as possible to avoid being locked out of your van again in the future.

Depending on the year and manufacturer, your local dealer should be able to adjust the setting with their service scan tool.

Most times you can reset the alarm by locking and unlocking the driver's door with the key.
To prevent the alarm from being turned on, try to not use the key to lock the van. Use the inside door locks instead.

Sounds as if the van lost that code for the PATS(Passive Anti-Theft System) key. You will have to have it programmed again. Some well equipped key and lock shops may be able to do this, otherwise off to the dealer.

1 - Unlock the doors. Put the key in the ignition, and turn from "Off" to "ACC" 8 (eight) times in under 10 seconds. The doors will lock. Leave key in the "ON" position

2 - Program the fobs by pressing any key on the fob. The doors locks will lock/unlock

3 -- Turn the key to Off. Locks will lock/unlock, and you are out of programming mode.

I bought new remote Key Fob on Ebay and it did work properly on my Ford Transit LWB 2003. Good Luck!

If you take the VIN number to your local Chevrolet dealer parts department, they have the key codes. If it has electronic access locks, they can order you a new fob for it but they are expensive.

try sitting in van, with key fob. open all buttons; place keys in ignition. Turn carefully from off position to on position... 4 times, ending in the off pos. Within 10 seconds lock ( downward ) your internal door lock . Hopefully this works.

does this van have factory theft device? if so you may have to reset to get the ramp working

you can try a couple of things put the key in the drivers door lock manually lock and unlock the door
with it unlocked try starting the car if that doesn't work disconect the battery turn the key on then hook up the battery and try to start it also check your owners manual about the alarm
