Locking the Door - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Burnszilla · 04-06-2005, 02:04 AM

I try to lock the door on the truck by pushing down the door lock knob on the inside and shut it. The door lock knob on the inside pops up and the truck won't lock.. I have to use the key to lock the door.
Is this normal?

Yes thats normal. That way you cant lock your keys in the truck.

SuperCheyanne72 · 04-06-2005, 02:30 AM

RicksTrucks · 04-06-2005, 02:23 PM

Can't tell the wife..."I'm late because I locked the key in the truck..." and mine knows that!!!

Its a feature I like, I have locked myself out of my old toyota so many damned times that I keep a metal coat hanger in the bed under the spare tire. If someone wants to steal it, its worth about $400.

Is There Any Way To Bypass Or Remove This Feature... Can You Make You Truck Not Unlock When You Close The Door.?? Can Something Be Modified....

Every time I've looked at it I have settled on it being this way unless you change out the entire door latching system. I got used to it along time ago and have grown to love not being able to lock the keys in. If it really bugs you put in power door locks and a remote.

Joe67 · 04-06-2005, 03:39 PM

You can hold the handle button in as you close the door, I believe that keeps it locked

shifty · 04-06-2005, 04:24 PM

Nah, pushing in the button doesn't make it work in my case.

fire235 · 04-06-2005, 05:00 PM

Holding in the button as you close the door has no effect. You have to either lock the door from the inside and exit the other door or use the key.
