Rear door locks killin me!!

[Pudder]

Hey all, I'm gonna loose it !!! Every time I get out of my 03 crew cab lariat the back doors are still locked and every time I got to go back to the front door to unlock the back! Is there a programming option so all doors unlock when in park or key off or something??

check the manual it will probably tell you how to turn em off i know on my 07 you just scroll through the info on the dash and can shut them off like that.

I have the same issue all the time and i looked it up and this what i think is the answer. Ford calls it the Auto-Lock Feature...i'm not 100% sure but i think it locks all the doors when you put the tranny in DRIVE. I think if you turn this feature off, you're doors will be open unless you lock them manually or hit the power lock button. (if that makes sense.) someone else jump in if I'm wrong, but if not, here is the procedure:

1.Start in the truck with all doors closed and the key turned off.
2. Put the switch in the on position and press the door unlock button 3 times.
3. Put the switch in the off position and press the door unlock button 3 times.
4. Put the switch in the on position, you should hear a quick note from your horn.
4. Press the door unlock button 1 time then press the door lock button 1 time.
5. You should hear a short note from your horn indicating that the auto-lock system is disabled. If you hear a short note then a longer note from the horn then the auto-lock system has just been enabled.
6. Turn the switch to the off position. You will hear a short note from the horn to let you know that the system has been changed.
***These steps should be done within 30 seconds in order to properly activate or deactivate the feature.[/I]"

Just shootin from the hip here but it wouldnt be a child lock issue would it?

Nah, all doors lock automaticaly if programmed to do so. None of them unlock automaticaly. Front two unlock mechanicaly by operation of inside handle. Once locked rear doors must be unlocked by pressing the unlock or by lifting the manual lock. This is all original factory design. Would be simple to have just had an option to unlock all in park...
