I picked up my truck today and I'm loving it so far. One thing I wanna know though, is how am I able to disable the auto lock from engaging while driving.
Its the one thing I'm paranoid about, I hate being locked in... even with the windows open.

 

A Ford tablet can access that function easily. That can only be done by Ford I think. Unless someone knows of something like the process of programing new keys to turn that function off. See if you can find a Ford Mechanic that might do it for a 12 pack of Beer or something, I wanted to get my tire size reprogrammed and they wanted $120 for Mechanic time to do that when its a 2 to 5 minute task with a tablet. Hope this helps...

 

I would have to agree with the previous post

 

I do believe that in the owners manual it tells you the procedure to disable that function. My truck it was already done to but my mom's 2004 explorer we disabled it and it told how to in the manual.

 

i might have to read my manual lol

 

It is in the manual thats how I did mine

 

Underneath your dash in the middle you will see a red button with a wire on it. Unplugg it or cut it out and your doors will no longer lock unless you push the button on your doors. Its part of the factory alarm, but it gets the job done.

 

I got it done. The dealership forgot to put the manual in the truck when they detailed it. I picked it up today and got the auto lock disabled with 30 seconds while still being able to use the remote

 

Looks like ill be doing that soon

also in owners manual




The enable/disable mode allows the autolock feature to be turned off and on. On manual transmission vehicles, when replacing the remote anti-theft personality (RAP) module, the autolock feature must be turned off by using the enable/disable mode.
The enable/disable mode is entered when the following series of steps is performed:
1. Confirm that the perimeter alarm is disarmed.
2. Close all doors.
3. Confirm that the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
Note: Steps 4 through 8 must be performed within 30 seconds.
4. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN.
5. Press the power door lock UNLOCK button three times.
6. Turn the ignition switch from RUN to OFF.
7. Press the power door lock UNLOCK button three times.
8. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN.
9. Verify that the RAP module chirps the horn. This indicates that the RAP module is now in the enable/disable mode and ready to accept program changes.
10. Press the power door lock UNLOCK button one time to command the RAP module to toggle the autolock/relock feature ON or OFF.
11. Press the power door lock LOCK button once to enter the command.
12. Verify that the vehicle horn chirps one time to signal the RAP module confirmation of the command. There should only be one chirp indicating that the autolock/relock feature has been disabled. If one chirp is heard, followed by a longer honk, the autolock/relock feature has just been enabled. Return to step 10.
13. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to exit the enable/disable mode.
14. Verify that the RAP module chirps the horn once to indicate that a feature has been changed. The autolock and the appropriate alarm configuration are turned on at the factory on vehicles with automatic transmissions. Vehicles with manual transmissions have the autolock turned off at the factory. The RAP module returns to the prior setting any time battery power is interrupted.
