I got a call today about the auto lock system on the '05 GTs from a friend who just bought it. No manual with the car. I have an '06, and could not find a reference to the following problem in my manual, or on a thread on the Forum.
Apparently on an '05, if the engine is running and you get out and close the door, the doors automatically lock, and without a remote to unlock it, it becomes a real problem requiring Ford Roadside assistance.
The question then is can this feature be disabled on an '05, and if so, how? He has done this more than once during the winter when he goes out to run the car so the battery stays sufficiently charged.
Apparently, the '06 does not have this same set up as I have closed the doors on my GT while it is running and the doors dont automatically lock.
