I hate the overly paternalistic way vehicles are designed today?! Is there any way to disable:
(1) the autolocking feature of the doors that occurs when you take the vehicle out of park,
(2) the dinging noise you get when you have the driver door open and the key turned to accessory to operate the radio (for instance, if I am working underneath the driver area and want some music, but need the door open), and
(3) the dinging noise that occurs when you don't have the seatbelt on (for instance, when you simply have the truck running, and are just sitting there, you don't want the dinging!).

 

I have disabled the dinging seat belt warning on mine, it's in the manual. The autolocking can be disabled as well, I have heard many others talk about it. The dinging with the leaving the key in I don't think can be disabled, you would most likley have to remove the dinger.

Get out your manual, it suprizingly has some stuff in it you wouldn't have thought was there.

 

I would advise against changing how Ford has set up your vehicle. Ford has spent a lot of time and energy trying to keep you from killing yourself in your truck. You would not believe how many people's doors fall open when rounding a corner, dumping the non-seltbelt wearing driver on the pavement. Also, listening to the radio while performing other tasks could distract you from the job at hand, and is a poor safety practice. The dinger is your friend.

search is a beautiful thing

 

With all those anoying noises, I thought I had bought another mother not a truck.

 

Thanks for the replies, I searched in the manual but was unsuccessful (wasn't sure how to even begin doing a search on these things here). Oh, and I appreciate the concern for my safety BroncoDave, but I think this vehicle is the safest one I have!
