My credo
I poop in the furnace.
I know it's not ranger related but most of you are die hard ford weirdos so maybe someone has an answer. :headbang:

I bought my aunt a 2018 ford feisra base model no frills. Not a bad little car for her but it has extremely annoying door locks that she keeps bugging me about. No matter what you do, the doors automatically lock after 20-30 seconds. Even if you hit the unlock button they just relock. There's no crime where we are so no one locks car doors. She has already locked the keys in the car 3 times lol. Is there anyway to disable this auto lock crap?

My credo
Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
To disable the automatic locks will take two keys. Take one key and keep it in your pocket or purse or whatever. When your keys get locked in the car, simply pull out the other key and open the door. Put the second key back in your purse or pocket and drive away.


Sorry for the sarcasm...I'm at work and the power is out so I'm just kinda goofing off.

First thing I would do is consult the book.

From the 2017 Owners manual, 18 should be the same.
