My Dad has a '04 F250 SD 4 Door 4x4 Auto. He hates the auto door locks when you reach 5mph. When he gets out to get in the back seat the rear doors are locked. It drives him up the wall. I was wondering if there is a safe way to disable the auto lock function.

Thanks.

 

No one?

 

Call the dealership

 

You guys sure were not much help. I guess only mustang owners get help.

 

On my 03 Expedition there is a system monitor in the dash on the lower right corner of the guage cluster and three buttons under it on the dash. Whene I toggle through mine you can turn the auto locks off, I am not sure if it is the same on the F250 of not, though. The monitor has things like gas mileage, actual miles, trip miles, trip time, etc.

thats funny....

 

Yeah I know on my mountaineer that there is a way to program out the auto locks...

 

gotta love google.com

Autolock (if equipped)

This feature automatically locks all vehicle doors when the following

conditions are met:

• the ignition is in the ON position,

• all doors are closed,

• the brake is pressed before reaching 8 km/h (5 mph) and

• the vehicle is traveling more than 8 km/h (5 mph).

Relock

The autolock feature repeats when the following conditions are met:

• the vehicle’s speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph), and

• any door is opened then closed while the ignition is in the RUN

position, and

• the brake is pressed before reaching 8 km/h (5 mph), and

• the vehicle is traveling more than 8 km/h (5 mph).

Deactivating/activating the autolock feature

Before following the procedure, make sure that the ignition is OFF and

all vehicle doors are closed.

You must complete steps 1-7 within 30 seconds or the procedure will

have to be repeated. If the procedure needs to be repeated, you must

wait 30 seconds.

1. Turn the ignition key to ON.

2. Press the power door unlock control three times.

3. Turn the ignition key from ON to OFF.

4. Press the power door unlock control three times.

5. Turn the ignition back to ON. The horn will chirp.

6. Press the unlock control, then press the lock control. The horn will

chirp once if autolock was deactivated or twice (one short and one long

chirp) if autolock was activated. Note: Pressing the power door

lock/unlock control again will toggle between activating and deactivating

the autolock feature.

7. Turn the ignition to OFF. The horn will chirp once to confirm the

procedure is complete.
