Auto Locking Doors

My mom has a Ford Stationwagon and my dad has a ford windstar and all four doors auto lock after the car doors are closed for a few minutes- They'd like this feature disabled. How can I turn it off for them?

The dealership CAN dis-able this most annoying feature. The questions are "will they" and if so "how much"?

Of course the dealer can disable it, but no one has found a way to bypass the dealer on this one?

Unfortunately, the auto locking "feature" (idiot lock) is proprietary - only Ford's diagnostic equipment can access it in most cases. There are a few exceptions, such as some Explorers and Expeditions, that allow you to turn it on or off through the electronic message center.
