Got off work at mid night, allot of snow on the drivers side door so I unlocked the passenger side got the snow brush, started it up, shut the door. Both doors locked.
I didn't think they would lock till ya put it in gear.
Cost $45.00 and allot of humiliation from my co-workrs.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif

You can change that setting if you have a/the "DIC" option. Mine lock when placed in gear.

I thought you couldn't lock them that way either....http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif


Going to have to experiment since mine is set to lock the doors after it's moving.


$45.00 huh? No OnStar? The thing that gets me wondering about that, IIRC, is you have to have your account number when you call them for unlock, my card's in the glovebox.

I keep my card in the center stash box...It's going into my wallet today!


With my luck, now I'll end up locking my wallet in the truck.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif

EVen without onstar you still have roadside assistance. They would have paid for someone to unlock your doors.

I hate auto locking doors. It scares me. Needless to say, mine don't lock.

On my vehicle, when I lock the doors with one open, I get a chime and the doors don't lock. Then when you close the door, they will lock after five seconds. I do have Onstar and the card has been in my wallet since day one. It is also set to unlock the doors when the gear select is in Park.

I always carry an extra key in my wallet just for this reason.

My dad always keeps a key in one of those magnetic boxes in his frame rail somewhere.


I never trust my truck, so when I get out to do something I always crack the window a little just in case.

I don't know who taught your dad . . . http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif . . . . but I've been doing the same for many years and it has saved my ass and my wallet many times . . . http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif . . . the little magnetic box is really cheap . . .

Anyone read the manual and found out if you can set the door locks without the DIC controls by a number of clicks on the door lock switch? That's how I set them on my 2000 truck, turn the key on and click the door locks so many times to set each option. I haven't gotten to read a 2003-4 manual and find out if you can do that or not. Or if the other options that the DIC controls run such as the leaving the lights on for a certain time can be set manually as well.
