The enable/disable mode is entered when the following series of steps is performed:
Confirm that the perimeter alarm is disarmed.
Close all of the doors.
Confirm that the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
NOTE: Steps 4 through 8 must be performed within 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN.
Press the power door lock UNLOCK button three times.
Turn the ignition switch from RUN to OFF.
Press the power door lock UNLOCK button three times.
Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN.
Verify that the RAP module chirps the horn. This indicates that the RAP module is now in the enable/disable mode and ready to accept program changes.
Press the power door lock UNLOCK button one time to command the RAP module to toggle the autolock/relock feature OFF.
Press the power door lock LOCK button once to enter the command.
Verify that the vehicle horn chirps one time to signal the RAP module confirmation of the command. There should only be one chirp indicating that autolock/relock feature has been disabled. If one chirp is heard, followed by a longer honk, the autolock/relock feature has just been enabled. Return to step 10.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to exit the enable/disable mode.
Verify that the RAP module chirps the horn once to indicate that a feature has been changed and that autolock/relock has been disabled.
The autolock and the appropriate alarm configuration are turned on at the factory on vehicles with automatic transmissions. Vehicles with manual transmissions have the autolock turned off at the factory. The RAP module returns to the prior setting any time battery power is interrupted.
Confirm that the perimeter alarm is disarmed.
Close all of the doors.
Confirm that the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
NOTE: Steps 4 through 8 must be performed within 30 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN.

My 94 cougar XR7 had the locking door feature and i liked it. Got rid of the 94 and i now have a 96 XR7 which DOES NOT auto-lock the doors when in gear.
The dealer said that this feature was no longer used on the 96's.
After reading your post i have to ask: Was he right or was it never activated from the factory to begin with? And can it be if it wasn't.

The manual doesn't show anything about autolocks on your car so I dont think it has them. I havent worked on a T-Bird/Cougar in a while so I dont remember off hand.

I had the same thing and it drove me crazy!!!
I stopped by the local Ford dealer and asked them about it, and they took a portable computer out to the truck, hooked up to it and had the auto-lock disabled in about 5 minutes. I palmed the guy 10 bucks for his time.
Good luck!
