Auto-lock feature for electric door locks for a '97 Explorer. When you put it in drive, locks the doors automatically. I have to remember to unlock the doors before I get out to open a lift gate, or a passenger door. Hooked to some circuit in the trans? Any ideas on how to disconnect just the auto-lock feature?

Didn't work. The inside sequence did cause my horn to beep once, but auto locks still engage. Must not be quite right for the '97's. Darn... still have the frustrating auto lock...

However, your post inspired me to search further, and I found a disabling sequence for a 2000, which worked on my '97. Yay! No more stupid auto-locks! 1. Turn key on, motor off. hit "unlock" on armrest three times. Turn key off, hit unlock three more times, turn key back on, (horn beeps once) hit "unlock" then "lock" (horn beeps each time) and shut key back off. Whala! Turned off!

I have a 1994 Jaguar XJ6 Is there such thing as engine auto lock if you have a head gasket problem to keep water and oil mixing? I brought my car in for brakes and they've had it for months of problems getting parts and lots of excuses and when i finally gave up on them and went to pick it up it wouldn't start. It was running fine when I brought it there. They told me last they started it, it was blowing white smoke and jags have a bypass or auto disabler of the engine so that it won't cause more damage so maybe that's why its won't start. Is this bullshit? Is there such thing as a hyper lock that makes it that the engine won't turn over? I want to call them out on their lies if this is a lie and have them repair it so I can drive it home like I drove it in there. thank you for any information you can give. Jim 3 Answers
