i just noticed that the "autolock" feature on my newly acquired 2000 Mountaineer does not work. it works on my other 3 Gen II's.
what's supposed to happen is, when you start the truck and put it in gear the doors should lock automatically (there are also some other circumstances when this will also happen, but for now i'm only concerned with the "put it in gear" scenario).
i know this feature can be deactivated, so i went through the procedure to turn it ON (enter key-less entry code, press and hold 7/8, then press and release 3/4) and the horn sounded once (deactivate), so i did the procedure again and the horn sounded twice with once short chirp and once long (activate) yet when i get in, start the truck and put it in gear the doors don't lock.
any ideas? what controls this... PATS, RAP, GEM ???
i'd like this feature to work (for safety) as this will be my daughter's vehicle.
