Unlocking all doors with a key instead of remote (AU2) - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

All,
I have an AU2 (sports) that I can't unlock all the doors in with the key. When I use the remote button all the doors unlock/lock but when I use the key in the drivers side door, only the driver's door unlocks. To then get all the doors to unlock, I have to manually push down the door lock knob, which then automatically pops back up again unlocking all the doors.
I've read the user manual but can't find out how to change the behaviour such that the key in the door will unlock all the doors at the same time. Has anyone got any idea how to get it to work?

Thanks!

Just went and checked mine and it's the same. Instead of pushing the lock knob down to force the other doors to unlock, hit the door lock switch on the dash twice. If you have factory LPG this switch won't be there!!

Thanks smally, I'll give that a go - It's annoying though, surely there'd be a way to set it so that your key could unlock all doors.

the BA is the same.

will lock all doors with the key but will only unlock the drivers door.

i guess that you are only expected to use the key in an emergency , ie the remote will not work.

I'd call having an intermittantly working remote an emergency... (well a pain in the butt anyway!)
It's interesting that you can program the remote so that it unlocks one or all doors, but you can't do the same for the key.

hold down both the unlock and lock buttons together on the remote for a few seconds- the indicators will flash to let you know that it's been changed- repeating the procedure toggles the mode to unlock drivers door first then press again for others or the second mode opens all doors at the same time.

Thanks for replying anyway!
