Shutting Off Annoying Features
Hello All,
I have a 2008 F150 SCrew XLT.
There are two features that find highly annoying.
1) The automatic door locks - As in all the doors lock every time you start the truck.
2) The seatbelt dinger. - When I'm up north on my property I don't want to wear my seat belt. I also don't want to just plug in the seat belt behind me because hit hits me in the side.
Can these features be turned off on a 2008?
Thanks
Tom

1. Turn the ignition switch to the on position. DO NOT START THE
ENGINE.
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off. (Approximately one
minute)
• Step 3 must be completed within 30 seconds after the safety belt
warning light turns off.
3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the
safety belt three times, ending in the unbuckled state.
• After Step 3, the restraint system warning light (airbag light) will be
turned on for three seconds.
4. Within approximately seven seconds of the light turning off, buckle
then unbuckle the safety belt.
• This will disable the Belt-Minder feature for that seating position if it
is currently enabled. As confirmation, the restraint system warning
light will flash four times per second for three seconds.
• This will enable the Belt-Minder feature for that seating position if it
is currently disabled. As confirmation, the restraint system warning
light will flash four times per second for three seconds, followed by
three seconds with the light off, then followed by the restraint system
warning light flashing four times per second for three seconds again.
