Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter Lock/Unlock Control - Lock

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2006 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The RKE transmitter feature requests that all the doors be locked when the LOCK button is pressed on the RKE transmitter. On any press of the LOCK button with all doors closed, the RKE feature requests 1 flash of the parking lamps. If any door is ajar, no flash occurs, indicating the DDM locked all the doors but 1 or more doors are ajar. When the last door is closed, the vehicle provides 1 flash of the parking lamps. If 2 presses of the LOCK button are received within 3 seconds, the horn chirps once, and the parking lamps flash to indicate that all the doors are closed and locked. If any door is ajar when the second lock request is received within 3 seconds of the first, the RKE transmitter feature requests the horn chirp twice without flashing the parking lamps to indicate it locked all the doors but 1 or more doors are ajar. When the key is in the ON or START position, no parking lamp flashes or horn chirp confirmations occur.
