Auto door locks? Reply #30 – March 05, 2008, 06:48:50 PM Quote from: thunderjet302;200677Your old driver's seat should have the sensor below the bottom cushin. Have fun getting it out and into the new seat (you have to take the lower seat cover and cushin off:hick: ).I finally got around to pulling the seat switch and it wasnt hard at all was right on the bottom of the seat tucked up under the wires that hold the seat cusion now comes the fun of installing it in my current seats.

Seems I remember the feature defaulted to on if the system lost battery power and to off in the '88s??? Maybe I'm dreaming????Thread from the dead I know.. But I recently came across this information, and Tom you are correct. Quote Selected

Auto door locks? Reply #33 – May 02, 2008, 11:30:21 AM Well in my 88 if I disconect the battery the auto lock still works without having to re-enter the code in the keyless entry panel when the battery is re-conected. However my 88 was built in September of 87 so they might have changed it for later models. Quote Selected

Auto door locks? Reply #35 – March 03, 2009, 10:56:48 AM Just to weigh in on this. My 88 Sport locks when I turn the KEY to on even without starting the engine, and unlocks when I turn the key to off. Regardless of the trans position. Always has been that way even after losses of power due to dead battery (too many times to count) and failed Alternator (twice in 6 1/2 years).I am at 229,800 miles and counting on the original drivetrain. Still gets me 21-23 mpg. Which considering the "new" cars they want $25000 for are only getting 24-27, I'll keep my Bird.Gonna drive it as long as I can find parts and keep it running. Quote Selected
Auto door locks? Reply #36 – March 03, 2009, 07:47:47 PM Quote from: thunderjet302;200550On mine if I shift into park (with the car running) after the doors have auto locked and then open the door with the handle (with out hitting unlock) the door unlocks and stays unlocked even if I shut the door. The door won't relock untill I sit in the seat and shut the door. That's what the weight sensor in the seat is for.With my 01 Grand Marquis you can't lock the drivers door with the key in the ignition and no one on the seat. Car doesn't have to be running. Keeps you from locking the key in the car. Quote Selected

Guess they figure if you know how to lock it with the pad, you're smart enough to be able to open it... Quote Selected
