Ford Edge Automatic Power Door Locks
Hi,
We just purchased a new 2009 edge, I was able to buy it through lowe's using the x-plan program, I really liked that concept. Also, I utilized the governments cash for clunkers program, I rec'd $4500.00 with that, $3000.00 from ford, and the other 'perks' from the x-plan offer. So far, my biggest complaint is how the automatic power door locks operate. My wife drives our edge to work/etc., and as we live in a large city we want to be safe. On our other vehicles..once they are started, and put in 'drive', the locks lock right away. I wonder why ford decided for their locks NOT to operate this way ? I would have thought they would have provided a method to change at what point in time that occurs. Thanks for any comments about this !

Of course all she has to do is reach over and hit the lock button if it bothers her.
David :confuse:
There is a slight chance that the dealer has more options through the diagnostic tool. Wouldn't hurt to ask.
But I still have to ask - when would your wife be driving under 12 mph and need the doors locked? I saw your other note indicating that the doors unlock themselves when she tries to lock them manually and that only happens when the keys are in the ignition and the vehicle is not running - keeps you from locking the keys in the car. If she starts the vehicle then hits the lock button she'll be protected.
Please let us know if your dealer has a way to program the locks to engage at a lower speed.
