2. within 5 seconds pres and hold 7/8
3. within 5 seconds press and relase 3/4 (while still holdin 7/8)
4. release 7/8

Angry automatic door locks

I too would like help on disabling those blasted locks, the worst thing about my 95 Explorer without electronic entry locks. I tried the sequence in the manual that didn't seem to work.

My daughter locked the baby in the car last week, luckily the AC was on and I was there in minutes. Automatically locking you out of your car after a few seconds? What were they thinking?

Any help, please email, thanks so much. I am looking at upgrading to an Expedition, do they also have this awful "feature"?

Thanks,

Wally
