how do i get my passenger door to unlock?!?!

alright, so this might be a dumb and pointless question but it bugs me pretty bad sometimes lol...half the time when i exit my car my passenger side is locked and half the time its unlocked, is there a special procedure when turning the car off etc. to get it to unlock everytime? it makes me look dumb when i walk around the other side and its locked and i have to walk all the way around the drivers side again cause i leave my keys in there sometimes...its a manual by the way, any comments will help thank you

When you unlock your car with the remote, do you press the unlock button 1 times or 2?

+1.

Also, go to your manual and follow the directions on how to deprogram this stupid autolock.
I did this this on mine before leaving the dealer's lot

.
Same thing on my F150.

im not talking about with my remote, im not stupid i know about that...im talking about after i go for a drive and park it how to i get the passenger door to unlock, and i've looked at my manual a little but idk why it would do it half the time and the other half not do it?

well that would work, but thats still not what im wanting to hear in the thread...i need to know why it does it half the time and not the other half

What the other's said. It's the autolocking feature.Our van's got it too and it annoys the hell out of me.

Hmm....I thought auto lock did not work on manuals.....did this change???

I kind of know what you mean, although my passenger sideis locked and stays locked until I unlock it. Best thing to do is when you open your door to get out, press the "unlock" button to unlock the passenger's side door.

i have a manual too and i've never had that problem.. i haven't had to deprogram any autolock mode.. usually when i go to my car i press the unlock button twice so it unlocks both.. idk what to tell you, maybe you should call up the dealer you got it from have them take a look at it or something.. it sounds like its an autolock problem from what you described though.. maybe it locks after a certain amount of time and half the time you get out before it locks and half the time you get out after it locks.. good luck with solving that
