Door Locks

[blbrownssr]

Is there a way to defeat the automatic door locks? To my wife it's a pain for her to wait till I get the car in park, she will pull the door handle before I get it in park and have to press the lock/unlock button.

Same problem here - I like to get out of the car before hubby pulls in to the garage, but it's such a pain. I hope there is a way to bypass it!

I belive it is in the programing from the buttons on the steering wheel.
You can defeat the automatic door locks.
should be in the owners manual.

You can control the locking but no to the point I would like, I just want to defeat the automatic locking.

See page 3-52 of your owner's manual (2005) or 3-55 (2004)

I'd be nice if you could program them to automatically unlock at speeds under 8MPH.

Thank's Doc, but this only tells me how it will lock and unlock the doors. I don't want the doors to lock ever unless I want to lock them.
I have the thought that I might cut the wire to the passenger door lock and and run a wire from the console switch. But that would create another problem, I couldn't use the key fob to lock the door. Then I thought about splicing into the drivers door and tap off that switch a wire to the passengers door but I would be back to square one.
I just don't want the doors to lock unless I press the button on the fob.

Just looked at my truck, you are correct, can control the unlocking but not the automatic locking. The options on unlocking are only manual and key out.

I would buy that, but that dosent seem to be an option. You can program the locking to lock at or above 8 MPH but to unlock we are SOL.

I must be missing something, blbrownssr.

My "unlock" button is on the center console . . . it functions immediately after the "auto lock" feature locks the doors.

Rather than lose the convenience related to the Key Fob, why not just hit the unlock button as soon as the auto lock kicks in?

Also, the security afforded by the auto lock feature may come in handy on of these days.

Good Luck,

Curt

Power Door Lock-Auto Cancel

auto lock dead-rip

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Successfully canceled auto locking on 2004. To paraphrase: 1. ignition off, hold t/s lever all the way toward u and turn key from off to runto off twice. release t/s lever. (you will hear beeps and/or cycling of door locks. The above step needs to be done fairly briskly relative to key off-on-off.) 2. Press the lock side of the interior lock switch twice. (this step must be done within 30 second of the first step) VOILA details on page 11-91 of 2004 shop manual.

(t/s is turn signal)

Thanks to all for the information, I knew someone would have the answer, sorry to be a bother I should have done a better search before I did the post.

Well it worked, My wife will be very happy as well.

Great info. My wife and I hated the auto-lock feature. This feature should have been an option in the owners manual. Programmed my truck this morning. Works like a charm. Thanks!
