Default Automatic door unlock

Hello everyone, recently new to the site and so far I've got quite a bit of help from past posts/issues guys have had.

So here goes, for some reason, my door's don't automatically unlock when I turn off the ignition like most vehicles do. Was this the way my 01 screw was designed? It has standard power locks and what seems to be an aftermarket power lock fob. Is this a wiring issue or am I out in left field?

Thanks guys!

Your auto- unlock must be disabled. Auto -lock and auto-unlock are activated separately. Don't remember the proceedure but its not hard to look up.

F-It, I'm just going to disable the auto-lock feature.

Mine does, are you sure about that? Anyways, I disabled auto-lock with the quick off/on funtion and it solved my issue!

Yes, I am sure. These trucks only have auto lock function from the factory, not auto unlock (unless you have an after market alarm, that may do it).

So I am curious, you start a thread asking why you doors do not automatically unlock, then you say that it does and you disabled it, which is it?

I just didnt like walking around the truck after shutting down and having to unlock the door using the FOB just to get groceries and my kid out. I disabled the auto-lock so now I dont have to worry about it. Not what I wanted, but problem solved in the long run.

I was just confused when I asked if you were sure about this feature, no harm no foul.

Thanks for your input, greatly appreciated.

Could....if I wanted. However, after years of not having to do that, generally slips my mind.

Anyways, its sorted.
