Door locking incident...

[mikellmikell]

Just give up now. No harm in admitting you are wrong. Happens to everyone.

But I wasn't wrong. And I proved it a couple of years ago.

Yeah right....you didn't prove ANYTHING!!! While several of the good guys on here......SHOWED you what is happening with the driver's door...and possibly the passenger's door also. Ford even put out a bulletin about it. But...I understand your line in the sand attitude. You can't make a rock move by just talking to it....it's never going to move.

This is what you stated back then:

As it says it seems to be an ongoing issue. All the other doors don't lock just the drivers. This morning I drove to the lumber yard, grabbed my keys to unlock and turn on the lights. Maybe 3-4 minutes total and the drivers door was locked when i came back out???? THe dealer has no clue.

It is impossible for the truck to lock a single door on its own. The only door lock code that exists in the body control module locks all doors. This is the code that is executed when you push one of the electronic lock buttons in the interior, or push the lock button on your key fob. Intentionally or accidentally, the only way to lock a single door in the Maverick is for the user to push the manual/mechanical lock lever on the specific door that is being locked.

The saying goes that "Nothing is impossible". ..
Improbable on the other hand can happen frequently.

As far as just the driver door locking for no apparent reason, it happens frequently.
All I have to do is nudge the lock lever and amazingly, the driver door locks - every time!

I found that as I close the door, when I verify the unlocked lever position, strangely, the driver's door never locks, but then I live in Arizona, where vehicles are less subject to corrosion.
We also have a relative dearth of garden gnomes.

In Southwest Michigan however, the driver's door randomly automatically locks itself due to frequently salted roads and the abundant presence of garden gnomes that are known to react negatively to compact pick up trucks, as their collective consciousness deems anything but a full sized pickup is an intentional jab at their lack of altitude, and they are compelled to express their ire by magically and randomly locking a compact truck driver's door in the attempt to drive the short bed vehicle's owner insane.

In a relatively few number of cases, evidenced by this thread, their efforts appear to have been successful.

There - I've proved that random locking happens and even more significantly, why it does.

This hypothesis can be easily tested.
Drive to an unsalted road, free of garden gnomes and take a picture of the door lock verifying its unlocked position before closing the door.
You will observe and verify that the door is not locked when you open it successfully.
There you go - That proves that salted roads and garden gnomes cause automatic door locking.

Or not, as conversely, the same test can be done anywhere else with the same result.

Brilliant, science for the win! It’s definitely a short bed thing as it never happened with my Access Cab Tacoma.
