The last couple of days, my truck has started randomly locking the doors once I get out. The problem with this is that I always leave the keys in my truck when I lock the vehicle in my garage. So, a couple of times, I've gotten out of the truck with the key in the ignition, shut the door and a couple of seconds later, the horn honks and the doors lock. Thank goodness for an extra set of keys. Has anyone had this problem or know what causes it and how to resolve it?

Thanks!
Buster

That doesn't help me. Mine doesn't have anything but factory security. If my keys are locked in the vehicle, I have no way to push unlock. I need to figure out why it has just started locking itself when the keys are in the switch.

I know I won't be of any help, but mine did it for a while just with the key inside the vehicle....won't do it in the ignition, but it will with the key inside the vehicle.

I just did a couple of cycles with both fobs and all has been fine. Maybe it is a signal to function the of the fob ????

It sounds like your truck has an auto-locking mechanism. Have you looked in your manual for ways to check and adjust the settings?

I HAVE personalized mine to my likes...only did a couple of times at roughly a year old. Hasn't done it since.
