Default Power lock question

I have a 08 supercrew XL. i was wondering if there was a way to have all the doors unlock when i put it in park. As of now the driver door is the only one that unlocks. My wife has a 07 Fusion and all the doors unlock when you put it in park. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am pretty sure that none of the doors unlock when you put the truck in park. They do however, have a non-positive locking system wich means that the doors can be opened from the inside with them in the locked position. Pulling on the handle unlocks them.

that only works for the front doors. the back door you have to unlock manually unless you hit the unlock switch.

Ah, ok. Well I don't have back doors so I don't know about them.

That's a negative. My '06 Screw rear doors open/unlock by pulling on the handle.

I have the same problem I did check the baby lock switch (found under the mechanism) that was not the problem, nothing in the book on how to fix it if it's really a hassle maybe turn off the auto lock feature so the doors stay unlocked in drive. I didn't know this was such a problem Ford needs to look into it find what's going on unless they already did and the dealer knows how to remedy the problem.

There is no problem. It was not designed to have an auto unlock feature.
