Transit door locks with doors open help please

[Ashleyboy]

Hi there. I have a problem with my transit 2010. It lets me lock the doors whilst the door is open using either the key fob or by pressing the lock button on the door with it open so I then can close the door and it will be locked. On all of my friends transits if you try to lock it with the door open it locks then immediately unlocks to prevent you from closing the door with you keys inside and nobody inside to open the doors which I have already done! Just wondering if anybody's you guys know if it's something you can change in settings or if it's a fault ? Thanks in advance.

Does it do it when any door is open or just the drivers?

Not to sure will try it today and see think it does it with all doors.

Each door has an ajar switch that says whether the door is open, if it is just the drivers door then i would suggest a faulty switch, if it is all doors then you have 2 options.
1. It developed a fault and someone bypassed the ajar switches so it wouldn't beep the horn and not lock.
2. There is a configuration that has allowed this to happen (mk7 bcm programming via ids)

I've read most locking options thanks to Airthies posting the options he found, but i haven't used them nor have i used zonal locking options so tbh i couldn't say if the option exists or if it has been programmed.
Can't see what use it would be to allow doors to lock you out tho

Just tried it now. It lets you lock the doors from the button on the door with any of the doors open. I don't think the switches have been bypassed as if I try to lock it with the fob with a door open the horn beeps to tell you that one of the doors is open also it shows up on the dash that the door is open whe it's open and goes out when it's closed. It's really weird. Maybe I'll have to try ford see if they know anything about it or hopefully someone on here has used ids to alter these settings before ? Thanks for your help loot.

Just been messing around with it some more and have seen that it does the same when you press the lock button on the key fob with a door open the horn will sound to indicate a doors open and the doors will stay in the locked position so if I close the door they are now locked. I'm thinking there should be some sort of relay or something to re open the locks when it's told to when a door is open ? This part must be faulty does anybody out there know anything about this would really appreciate some advice it's doing my nut in. Thanks.

All of the locks are operated by f78 and by the body control module, you aught to get it on ids to see if any of the locking configurations are active, maybe slam locking? You can change them at least to see if that cures it first otherwise you are going to have to inspect the wiring for being bypassed or replace the body control module which also requires ids anyway.

It won't be as simple as an external relay at fault because if it was then the basic function of locking/unlocking whichever just wouldn't work.
Either way, your locking system is ignoring the door ajar switches so that is why it is locking and not unlocking.


What is your registration number mate I'll have a look on etis and see if the config shows slam locking for you.

[Ashleyboy]

Oh rite ok mate. The reg is kp10hvr. Thanks.

Doesn't say, just says with door deadlocks and with remote door locking.

Needs to go on ids

[Ashleyboy]

Ok mate. I think one of my friends might have that ids so gonna ask him. Thanks for your help.
