Automatic door locks
I have a '04 Lariat w/ 5.4 supercrew. When the truck goes into gear and start to move all doors lock. But, the doors never unlock automatically when the truck is put out of gear or the key is turned off. I know this is a little thing but when your in the back seat you must reach up every time to pull up the lock latch. I checked all through the book and cannot find anything about this. Anyone know something different?

The auto door locks do not un lock in park or ignition off.
they do not have have this feather because just pulling
the inside handle unlocks the door.it is not like General
motors.their handles are disconected upon lock.Another
little annoyance we have to put up with.

Hey TycoRodger.....what the hell are you doing driving the truck from the backseat anyway?! Just kidding.....I believe your automatic door locking system is working EXACTLY as it should. I have had several Ford vehicles and they all operate exactly as you described; you must MANUALLY unlock the doors.

I love these posts, thanks for the laugh. Sorry to hear that it is working as it should, oh well, I still love the truck and I'm getting better at reaching the wheel from the back seat too!!!

My doors acted the same but after i went to a friend and got them to install the brain for the alarm system the dealer had put in but i didnt want to pay for it. After that was installed as soon as i shut off the key all four doors unlock.

This is a great discussion for me, thanks. My truck did not come with an alarm system. Come to think of it the alarm system was not a factory option. Can it be added aftermarket? Sorry if this is a simple question, I just don't know. I don't want to purchase a cheap $100 alarm system from WalMart. Rodger
