Default Doors locking when starting

So lately when I start my truck up the doors have been locking almost immediately, has anyone else experienced this? I can't find anything directly related to it online.

Default Power Locks problems

I also have the same issue with my new-to-me 03 F150 FX4 Scab. Start up, count to 15, or 20 and doors lock with doors open, or closed. Tried the owners manuel door disable proceedure several times (correctly even). No good. Dealer states it's probably due to the older DEI Valet remote starter that came with my truck from previous owner. DEI Valet tech support said to have a local dealer check the autostart programming. ALAS... No local dealers nearby for that.
Hope we find a different answer we can fix with!!

Same here, that's exactly what they do when the battery is going south.
