I dont feel comfortable hooking up for scan yet.

Does anyone know how to disable the auto lock? I can't believe in 2019 that Ford doesn't have a way to disable this.
It's in there - either read your manual or scroll through all the options on the screen.

From the manual:
Autolock
Autolock locks all the doors when:
  • All doors are closed.
  • The ignition is on.
  • You shift into any gear putting your vehicle in motion.
  • Your vehicle reaches a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).

Anybody want to help a guy out here? Looking for the post in here that has the tips and tricks link to a pdf. Way too long of a thread to read through. I can't even think of a way to search it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I wouldn't plug a cigarette lighter in it though. Cigarette lighters are 25-30 amps and there is only a 5 or 10 amp fuse in the box.

The lane keeping system is just a safety feature to keep your vehicle from drifting over the lines, if it sees them. If you use your blinker when changing lanes, it doesn't vibrate or correct anything. It isn't meant to keep the vehicle centered between the lines. I've been using it for a few years and I like it. It saved me from a ditch once when I thought I had more room in a curve (it actually scared the crap out of me because it corrected pretty hard).

The lane departure feature isn't designed to center the vehicle in the lane... it's not autopilot. It's there to keep you from running off the road or into someone else head-on if you get distracted or drowsy. Keeping the truck centered in the lane is the driver's job.
