Then it wouldn't unlock itself as you approach. Other high-end F150s have a sensor on the back side of the door handles, which you have to touch for a moment to unlock. There's no way you can disable that sensor with your fob or in any menus, as far as I know.

I wouldn't want all doors to unlock on a single push. Someone could be hiding in the parking lot near your vehicle and you just unlocked all the doors as you approach.

Now imagine your wife/girlfriend or son/daughter being followed back to the vehicle.

I'm not interested in making it easier for crazy people to commit robbery, car jacking or kidnapping for human trafficking.

Yesss thats what I mean, I have to touch my door handle for it to unlock but drivers side stopped working...My bad for not explaining myself correctly.

Ah, Raptors have some different options so I didn't want to assume. Every once in a while someone posts up about this problem but I don't think I've seen any simple solutions. Obviously check to make sure the sensor is clean. I don't know of and didn't see anything in the manual that would turn it on or off. Could be a sensor gone bad.

In a parking lot, I always approach the truck so I can see if someone is on the other side. But the ability to unlock just the driver door is extra security.

Yes you are correct, you must touch the door handle in order to unlock or use the FOB. There’s nothing in the manual stating anything about unlocking as you approach.
It does state the FOB a must be within 3 ft. Of the vehicle In order to utilize touching the back of the handle to unlock or the button to lock. Nothing wrong with your door handle. Save your money.
