Durango Door Locks Unlock After Parking

[lsprague]

Anyone know how to reprogram my 2000 Durango door locks to ALL unlock when I stop/park? Right now, factory default is for only the front driver door to unlock. I am SICK of forgetting to manually hit the "unlock" button to release the other doors when I want to open them from the outside after parking. It's driving me nuts.

There's no mention in the manual about even being able to do this, but knowing how it's all computers and programming, I would think there's a way to do this. Maybe because of safety laws, not though?

I hope there's a way to do this. I've more or less accepted it but still would love to be able to have all the doors unlock.

I have a 99 durango and none of the doors automatically unlock when I park. The front seat doors unlock when you pull the door handle, but the back you have to unlock them first then pull the door handle. I turned off the automatic door lock feature with the procedure on page 10 of my owner's manual. Near that page is also a procedure to set the remote keyless entry remote to unlock all the locks or just the driver's door. Maybe on the 2000 you can disable the automatic door lock. Or maybe using a similar procedure to do exactly what it is you are trying to do. I don't have the procedure in front of me but they were both something like "turn the ignition key on then off about 3 times leaving it on and then press the door lock button or door unlock button depending on whether you want it to lock all the doors or if you don't.
