Asked by Randy Feb 03, 2012 at 10:00 PM about the 1997 Ford Explorer 4 Dr XLT AWD SUV

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My '97 Explorer has an auto lock feature that automatically locks the power locks after you put the car in drive a few seconds. This drives me nuts. How do you disconnect the auto lock feature without screwing up the power locks?
