Automatic locking

My 04 Yukon XL has the DIC controls on the steering wheel. One of the settings is "automatic locks" which I have set to "manually". I have the unlock feature set to "all in park". Everything works correctly except one thing. The rear hatch, both the window and the hatch itself, lock when I pull the truck out of park. None of the other doors do, though. I looked at an 05 Chevy 'burb for comparison but it didn't have all the settings mine does. The auto lock choices were only "in gear" or "at speed".

 

You need 2 people to test it. Someone has to be in the truck with their foot on the brake and the truck in Drive while someone else checks the hatch.

 

It's going into the shop on Monday for a new radio so I'd like to figure out if this something that's normal or not.

 

TIA

Sounds like it working correctly. The doors are locked/unlocked based on your DIC preferences.

 

The hatch is autolocking anyway when you take it out of Parkl regardless of the DIC setting - safety. Just as long as it unlocks when you put it back in park.

Sounds normal on the hatch locking. Hope you enjoy your Yukon! You've got a few less posts here than on ktmtalk :D Can't wait for riding season..especially given the below zero temps we're getting here this weekend. SHould even be colder your way. Stay warm! Hope you're fully recovered by now from your little "incident".

Thanks guys. I was hoping someone would test it for me. I know it could just be normal even though it'd be odd. If it was a safety thing, you'd think they'd lock all the doors. Heck, there's not even a way to open the hatch from the inside. I'll just treat it like a problem until the dealership proves me wrong. :D

 

Bish,

I've healed completely from my hip fracture last year, thanks. I got really, really lucky on that whole deal. Thanks for asking and nice to see familiar names over here.

Just as a follow up, GM told the dealer that the hatch locking anytime the truck is in gear is normal behavior. Still seems like it's wrong but apparently it's working as designed.

      What a wonderful result! Great story telling to. You are quite multifaceted sir.  I'd keep it. Four is my limit too and yet we have five as well. One assigned the 'salt car' to do all those tasks you hate to ask of your 'Save for Good" crowd. 😉    Don't forget the antifreeze.    The Iron 4.3 is a favorite of mine.

      Ancillary parts to the lower intake and connections went together without issue.   There was a brief pause when I leak-tested the fuel lines and injection system. Fuel was spraying all over. Lovely. O-rings weren't sealing the fuel lines to the spider, and inbound line was leaking at schrader valve, leaks at both flange nuts. It's moments like those when you just want to set fire to the whole shop, and be done with it. I was mostly enjoying the project up until that point, and was tracking to an agenda of having a running Blazer and a cold beverage in hand by dinnertime.    I found some larger Viton o-rings for my spider and some grease to get them to seat. One leak solved. Swapped fuel line Schrader core for old core. Still leaked. Swapped entire valve for old valve. Leak solved. Nudged the flange nuts a little tighter on the connections. Another leak solved. I could cycle the key / prime the pump and the intake was staying dry.    Reassembled the upper intake, with 10,000 vacuum lines, and filled the cooling system with water* (this is temporary, I'm not done with the cooling system yet).   Showtime!!   Cranked it over and smoke billowed, it was running rough. CEL illuminated and began flashing. P0300 and I somehow tripped a code for the TPS sensor, voltage low.    There's nothing as unrewarding as a vehicle that won't run (and produces the same code/problem) after hours of research and work.   Clearly I was in over my head. Was the timing off, did I stab the distributor incorrectly? Is the new distributor bad? With my limited OBD 1.5 data stream I really don't have a lot of parameters to see. The engine was pulling mad timing again (flooding?).   Think, Atlas, think.   1-6-5-4-3-2. One, six, five.....four, three, ....two. Wait a second. That makes no sense. 1 is the forward cylinder on the driver's side, so 2 should be the forward cylinder on the passenger side, not 6.    I can't believe it, but I'm looking right at it. Swapped 2 and 6 on the distributor and turned the key over, and...   It fired, coughed and stumbled, smoked, and then settled into a smooth idle. The scanner showed no codes, no lights on the dash, and the throttle was nice and responsive to gentle revs while it warmed up.   It's working!!! IT'S WORKING!!!   I paused for a late dinner, no cold beverage yet. I was determined to do my shakedown run. Did a basic safety and fluids check one more time and then went out and put almost 70 miles on it last night. She's a runner, runs good.   Came home and did a post-trip, post-mortem. The underside is dry *except* for where the last owner RTV'd the snow out of the intersection of the timing cover and oil pan. He said he had replaced the timing cover seal, but, my dude had clearly done it incorrectly and then tried to hold back fate with black RTV. Never works.   Yesterday morning I replaced the broken driver's door mirror. As much as I hate cheap Chinese parts, thank goodness for cheap Chinese parts. I think an entire new power mirror assembly cost me like $30, and it works perfectly. Replacement tail lights (faded, and one was busted) ran me about $12/side. I have a door pin kit ready to go in because the driver's door sags just a little and I want to fix that because there's nothing sadder than a saggy door.   I don't know what's next for this rig. Half of me wants to take some nice photos (there's a park nearby with a HUGE American Flag that always seems to be catching wind) and throw it up on CL/Marketplace for a couple grand and see if it flies. The other half of me... I've got a sweet running S10 Blazer that's been keeping my mind off of whatever I'm going through right now, and it's bringing some joy, and is cheaper than therapy. Maybe I'll keep it around for a little while. However, this is my 5th vehicle, just for me. 4 is really my limit, but they are not junk, so need very little attention. I don't know...there's a point where it's just too much and I don't see owning this truck long term. But I solved its major problem, got it running, so I'm going to stick a feather in my cap for now.   Sometimes we just need to get our hands dirty and fix something in the physical world to gain some satisfaction.
