Any one know how to deactivate the automatic door lock feature on a 99 silverado ,you know the one where the doors lock when the truck hits 15 mph . The owners manual says it can be done but it does'nt tell you how! Thx

 

i am just lazy to go to garage, but know for sure manual says how to. you put locks into learning mode, and from that choose any option you want.
oh, well, what won't you do for a fellow trucker

go to section 2-5 in your manual. PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS. read the very last bulleted paragraph. "do the same three times to turn off the automatic door lock feature" too much to type with 2 fingers. if you don't have it in your manual, pm me, i'll copy it for u.

Some owners of the above vehicles may want to have the Automatic (Rolling) Door Lock feature disabled (turned off).
You can disable the Automatic (Rolling) Door Lock feature by either recalibrating the Body Control Module (BCM) or with the self programmable function. Use the following procedures:

MY 2000 (VIN Y)
[ol]Important:Reprogramming this function for customer preference is not warranty. Please instruct the customers to refer to their Owner's Manual operator instructions or refer to below instructions.
Beginning with the ignition in OFF position, pull back on the turn signal/multifunction lever all the way toward you and hold it while you perform the next step.
Turn your key to ON and OFF twice. Then with the key in OFF position, release the turn signal/multifunction lever. Once you do this, you will hear the lock switch lock and unlock.
You are now ready to program the automatic door locks. Once you release the turn signal/multifunction lever you will have ten seconds to begin programming. If you exceed the ten second limit the locks will automatically lock and unlock to indicate that you have left the program mode. If this occurs, to continue programming your locks go back to step 1 above. [/ol]

I have a 2013 chevy silverodo pickup, Is there a way to disable the locks that lock the doors when the truck is in park and turned off ,but keys are still in it. I use my truck a lot on the job and 9 ties out of 10 if I get out of the truck with the keys (phone and everything else) still in the truck, as soon as you/I close the doors it will automaticly lock the doors. I know on-star will open them for e, but if my phone is locked inside as well, im screwed. How do you turn this future off?
