Auto locks not working when put in drive

I have a 2000 Excursion 7.3 dsl and the dorr locks do not automatically lock when I put it in gear. Is there a way to reprogram them to do so without going to the dealer and paying $75.00 to have them set there and turn the key off and on in sequence to get it done?

The auto-locking feature didn't start until the 2002 model year. I checked into that months ago for my 2001. There's nothing to reprogram. BTW, welcome to the forum.

Thanks, I had an EB 98 Exp and could not believe that a limited 2000 Excursion was so poorly equipped.

My wife's 2000 EB Explorer has more features than my 2001 Excursion Limited ... such as the auto-locks, radio controls on the steering wheel, auto-climate control, etc.

Yes I was disappointed when I received this and was hoping it was something that could be programed into it. With the cost you would think it would have all the bells and whistles?

My 2000 X limited PSD has the auto door locks. Are we talking about the same thing? When I turn the key and wait for the "wait to start" light to go off, the doors will lock before I even start the engine. I have asked on other forums (ford-trucks.com)about turning this off. Somewhere there is the procedure. I tried to disable mine but it did not work. I am getting used to them now locking automatically. It would be a big deal if I did not have the keyless entry. Sometimes I forget and get out and the lock me out.
