This has aggravated me since we bought the truck. Is there a way to set the auto lock to UNLOCK when the truck is shut off, or put into park or something? I don't know how many times I've had to go back to unlock the doors because I can't remember to unlock the doors. My P71 doesn't do anything, so that's what I'm used to. The Expy is the wife's truck.

Thanks in advance

No, the only thing you could do is disable the autolock feature.

 

That's fine with me. How is that accomplished again?

Deactivating/activating the autolock feature

For vehicles equipped with a message center, the autolock feature may
be deactivated/activated by selecting the autolock function (accessed by
pressing the SETUP control). Press the RESET control to turn the
autolock function on or off. Refer to Message center in the Driver
Controls chapter for additional information.


For vehicles not equipped with a message center, the feature may be
deactivated by taking your vehicle to an authorized Ford dealer.

Power door lock disable feature

This feature will help protect your vehicle from unauthorized entry.
The UNLOCK function on the power door control will not operate with
the ignition in the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position and twenty seconds after the
doors are closed and electronically locked by the remote entry
transmitter, key pad, or power door control (if pressed while the door
was open).
The UNLOCK function will operate again after you unlock the vehicle
using the remote entry transmitter or key pad, turn the ignition to the 3
(ON) position, or open the door from inside of the vehicle.
