Automatic Unlock

Is there a way to program all four doors to unlock when the truck stops? The driver's side unlocks but the other doors do not. This is annoying, but I can't seem to find anything about how to accomplish the auto unlock...

It only takes about a year to get used to it and remember to hit the unlock button automatically when you get out of the truck. LOL!!!

If you wanted to add an aftermarket alarm system like the Viper 5900 it can be programmed to unlock all doors when the truck shuts off.

I was wondering the same thing.... and after a year and 3 months later I still don't remember half the time!! Maybe I need to write myself a little (or Big) note on the door to remind me!!

IIRC, you can adjust the auto-door lock features with key-on key-off procedures outlined in the owner's manual.

I completely shut mine off. No more auto-locking doors. I hate those damn things.

You can also shut off the seat belt reminder with a similar procedure, but I chose to leave that on.

Sorry to bring up an old thread. I am also having this issue where the back doors will not auto unlock when the truck is shut off or when i open the driver door. This is annoying,
