Door Locks
First time poster here, so I hope I'm in the right forum, I took me a half hour to find this one!!
I've got a 1997 F-250 that as soon as you put it in gear to go forward, the doors lock as is the norm on these "new" vehicles. My complaint is that when you stop an get out, the drivers side unlocks, BUT the passenger side doesn't. THEN invariably I go around to get something out of the passenger side and its LOCKED. Thats when my blood pressure goes into orbit. A trip to my dealer yielded no cigar. He stated that some models could be tricked into unlocking, but not this one. HEEELP
Thanks Irv

As far as I know, there is no auto unlock, just auto lock on an OEM system. You could get an aftermarket alarm installed and have it programed.
You could always turn the autolock off.
I just use my keyfob to unlock it if I forget to hit the unlock button when I get out (my door lock cylinder is messed up on the pass side so I can't use a key).

Just how do you turn the auto lock off? I would be delighted to do that! I live in a rural community where the thought of having my truck stolen is at the bottom of the list. I leave the keys in it about half the time. So does everyone else. I know someone is going to say I'm just asking for trouble, but I like to think I live in a place where there's a lot of good folks and locks are for people that don't want in anyhow!!

Steve,
Hot diggety dog, your instructions worked. Thank you very much!
I looked at my owners manual after I saw your reply and there's no mention of that procedure in mine that I could find.
Now I won't have to grumble every time I try to get in!! Yee Haw
Thanks again.
