explorer auto locking in Drive

My 2002 explorer locks the doors when I drive off. I would like to remove this feature so that I can decide wether to lock the door or not. Any ideas on how to program such features?? I don't want to take it to the dealer and pay way too much for what is probably a 5 min job
Thanks Barry Savannah GA

There are two ways to disable and enable the Autolock feature. Since I don't know if you have the keyless entry feature I will give you the steps for doing it with the key. These steps can be found in your owner's manual (which can be obtained in PDF form from the Ford site.. click on 'My Ford' register and put in your VIN.)

These steps must be performed within 30 seconds start to finish.

1. Turn the ignition key from OFF to ON/ACC.
2. Press the Power door UNLOCK control three times.
3. Turn the ignition key from ON/ACC to OFF.
4. Press the power door UNLOCK control three times.
5. Turn the ignition key from OFF to ON/ACC. A horn chrip indicates the enable/disable feature is entered.
6. Press the power door UNLOCK control one time.
7. Press the Power door LOCK control to toggle the Autolock/Relock state. You will receive a horn chirp followed by a long honk, autolock/relock is enabled, or no honk, autolock/relock is disabled.
8. Turn ignition to OFF
If autolock/relock has been changed, the horn will chirp to confirm procedure is complete.
