Auto Lock (doors)

I was cruising around the forum when I stumbled across some interesting info. Tried searching and I failed. So here is the question: Is there a way to cancel the auto lock feature in my truck ( 2003 F250 CCSB V10). When I start up the truck and drive about fifty feet the doors lock, that is what I want canceled. Thanks for any info.

Yes

Did this yesterday to my 05 F250SC, follow instructions in the owners manuel to the letter and it does work.


Key on,
hit unlock button 3x
Key off,
hit unlock button 3x
Key on, horn chirp
unlock and lock, horn chirp
Key off, horn chirp
Done!

Has to be done in 30 seconds.

A lot simpler than shutting down the belt dinger!

You can download a free PDF version of your owners manual here.

http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdi...&VEHICLE=F-250

It has the procedure you need, described in detail.

Thanks, I have been through my manual a few times but must have missed the section where it tells me how to turn off auto lock or disable the seatbelt reminder. Huh, must have been looking for a different answer when I went through it....anyways thanks.

First thing I turn off right before the belt minder on any new car purchase.

If yours was locking without the truck moving there is something wrong with it.

I have a 2011, I dont mind the auto lock, but I hate that when I need to jump out and grab something out of the back, say pull up to load something in the back seats, I have to manually unlock the doors if I dont shut the truck off. I am use to when it goes in park, all the doors unlock.

I have 2 options in the settings, auto lock, and auto unlock, neither will turn this off, as far as I can tell. am I missing something?

Do you have a an aftermarket alarm? The factory auto lock feature engages when the truck exceeds something like 5mph. Maybe you have an aftermarket system that engages when the truck is on and the doors close. I know I had an aftermarket alarm on my 96 that would lock the doors when started and doors were closed and unlock when the key was turned off.
