Ex royal mail van locks itself

Postby Jimmytdi » Mon Jun 22, 2026 5:26 pm

Hi all, I have a 56 plate ex ryal mail transit van.

It has an annoying security feature in that it always locks all the doors a few seconds after any door has been shut.

It's there any way to disable the feature? Or would it have been a royal mail add on that cant be removed?

It's so annoying! I'm lucky I haven't locked the keys inside it yet!

Yes, the RM would have slam locks configured on their vans. It can be changed within the BCM, using Ford IDS or similar software.

You can DIY using a V-Linker USB cable, and Forscan software, on a Windows Laptop 8)
