Make sure there isn't something keeping the door from closing completely. If that's ok, check the latch mechanism. It should be ope to allow the pin to go into it. If it isn't, you will need to get a large screw driver and while holding the latch handle open, pry the latch out to the open position. The latch mechanism looks like a big "C" and when in the open position the "C" opening is facing the pin located on the car body. If you have 2 latches, one or both may be in the closed position. Hope this helps.

Layout is usually on inside of box cover

Good place to start, but If you check directly with Chrysler there may be a technical service bulletin, that isn't posted yet. Have the codes cleared when work done, and see what happens.

Did you check to see if it has spark an fuel pressure ? Compression ?

what was the code

I had a car and tried to run belt by taking the power steering pump off and the only way it would work was to disconnect the hoses that are connected to the pump and leave the pump in place so there is no pressure on it. If that won't work get a junker pump out of an auto wreckers . I ran mine like that for a couple of years.

remove the plastic hard line that supplies the fuel rail from either end. The end near the firewall is easiest but i remove both to check pressure at each end . It requires an inline connection with your fuel gauge to connect but is only way to check fuel pressure without crawling underneath which would require the same connection.

You should check out www.reliable-store.com they have info on repair, service, wiring diagram, electrical diagram, fuse diagram, troubleshooting, PCV, owner's/service/repair/parts manual, fault codes, error codes, etc everything on all vehicles. must check it out

how did you check the relays, to find the problem with the door locks you need to remove the door panel and test for power at the door lock actuator or you can just buy the master switch and put it in and see if it works.

Test each fuse with multimeter on ohms

it could be the alternator . measure the output voltage across the battery with the engine running and car in neutral with hand brake on. It should at least 13.4 volts. If it does then I would get the battery checked at a car battery place. A car battery place could also check your alternator. If you are stranded at the lights suggest calling a mobile car battery replacement person or a road assist company if you are a member of one. They can jumper a temporary mobile battery across your battery to get car out of traffic stream !

I need to correct something the previous writer said. If disconnecting the battery will reset the system, then ALWAYS remove the ground wire FIRST. If you are removing the positive cable it is very easy to touch ground with your tool and cause an arc, which is never a good thing. I am always amazed at how many so-called mechanics and technicians do not know this elementary thing about electricity and cars.
