Automatic Door Locks are a PAIN

I love my 1999 Explorer, but I hate the fact that the doors are constantly locking automatically. I feel like I am using the key fob 10 times more frequently than I should. Does anyone know how to reprogram the onboard computer to get it to stop locking the doors every time I put it in drive? I am quite capable of deciding when the doors should be locked and when they should be unlocked and I don't need big brother locking them for me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Michael Slaughter

A good start might be the owner's manual. If i get a chance tonight i will go get my dad's owner's manual and take a look.

Autolock can be programed out. Check the manuals, there is a procedure.
