time delay on headlights

is there a way to chang the delay after you turn your truck of on the auto lights?

Also is there a way to make the pasenger door not lock when the truck moves a little bit?

thanks chuck

Never thought about it Im sure that has to be a way. You need to get the code book. This sounds odd but most those features are changed by clicking the lock button three times then pushing the gas peddle in 2 times followed by a game of duck duck goose. its just odd things that go together like that. My friend changed one of his options on his truck and he had to cycle the key "X" times then push the gas peddle in then lock the door then unlock it.

You didn't say what year you have, but the autolamp info is on page 24 of the 2001 owner's manual.

You can turn the auto-locking on & off with the unlock/lock/key sequence. It's in the owner's manual. I don't know of anyway of changing the delay time on the lights.

I don't know if this works for an '03, but the owner's manual in my '04 details how to change the delay, up to 3 minutes max.
