Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / March 2006Unlocking Rear Doors
06 - F350 (four door) - place in drive after 5mph all doors lock this is great. When I stop, put in park - only the front doors unlock, back doors must be opened manually? I have read the manual, no help - what is the secret, it must be a simple command withing the CPU of the truck? Dave On a new Chevrolet, that is controlled by the input thru the clock radio when you are setting up the basic commands (I forget what they call all that junk). Hope this helps. "That's not a malfunction! It's a feature!" Your describing the Auto-Lock on the truck. The rear doors will not unlock automatically when you put it in Park, what happens is (if it's similar to my '02 SD and '05 Excursion) when you pull the door handle on the front driver or pass door, it automatically mechanically unlocks; every Ford I've owned does that. But the rear doors don't unlock automatically when you put it in Park. Many passenger cars do this but I have yet to see a Ford truck do it. I disabled my Auto Lock so it's not an issue with me. > 06 - F350 (four door) - place in drive after 5mph all doors lock this > is great.

Issue I have is with adults in the back, they can not even open their own door. The lock is hard to grab because it is down so low, no auto-door (lock/unlock) in the back seats, so the dependency is on the driver. I will do more investigation, but it appears I will need to deal with it. In my case I just wait for one of them to yell "Open the damn door!" and then I do. :-) > This is why they have the kid lock, if your children are young so they > can not open the door.

I've been doing that with my '02 since I got it. 2nd nature now... The kids or the adults? >In my case I just wait for one of them to yell "Open the damn door!" and >then I do. :-) [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> driver.
