Programmable door locks

Farmer Walt · January 21, 2006

Hello and good evening,

I have a 2005 LS Chev. Reg. cab engine code U and as everyone has found, you can not program the doors to not lock. I called GM and have been to the dealer, with no luck. I have looked into the parts that control the locks. The DDM is the same for 2004 and 2005. The BCM for the 2005 is AC/DELCO # 15136876. When you search the AC/Delco site with this part #, I found that many 2004 GM trucks, including the 04, 05, and 06 SSR use this same BCM, with the addition of two code numbers. It reads part # 15136876 code 7329, 6065. AC/DELCO said that one of those code numbers are on the OEM BCM and when you replace that BCM, you need to put that code number in the BCM. They did not know what the code numbers designated. I know the 2004 trucks can be programmed to not lock, as well as the 2005 SSR. I have (want) to believe, that the code numbers, have something to do with the door lock program. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the first time I have been at a forum. I hope I have done everything correctly.

Sincerely,

WB

I have been following the many lock/unlock threads for a while. I just can't figure out why there is such a problem with the doors locking?

I never get out of my truck, or load/unload passengers, unless it is in park. In park the doors unlock so that is no problem.

What situations are you guys getting into that the automatic locks are causing problems? Maybe having to open the door, while moving, to spit.

Nope - No Spitting Allowed. For me, it's probably a claustrophobic thing. I just want to be able to open the doors when I want to open them. I don't want to have to fumble with a lock first. Maybe I'm in an accident and the car or truck has burst into flames, extreme, but I don't know. Maybe it's a control thing. But It's my vehicle, and when I want to lock or unlock the doors should be my decision, and not somebody else's. My wife is very happy with the automatic mechanism in her car, and when she rides with me, the second thing she does (seat belt is first) is lock the door. That's fine for her, that's her choice, but it's not mine.

Getting hay out of the fields is my main reason. I probably had to unlock my doors over 100 times last summer in the fields to let the helpers in and out as we went from one hay pile to another. I can guarentee that my door locks are going to wear out before I'm done owning this truck.

For me it's definitely a control thing. Who do these people think they are intruding into my personal space and forcing me to behave a certain way, because of some other idiot who created a problem when given the choice of auto locking or not auto locking?

When I first heard GM was going to the data bus I thought, what a wonderful thing, they'll be able to automate many vehicle functions.

Little did I know that the automation they had in mind is not to serve their customers, but instead to serve their lawyers and maybe also the ones in Washington. It's an ugly mindset, to think that they can encroach on our freedoms incrementally, ad infinitum.

Eventually they'll piss you off. Because for them, the sky's the limit.

Hello Farmer Walt,

I feel your pain. I haven't tried it yet, but I wonder if just pulling the fuse to the door locks would work? Your doors may then be the manual type? Anybody tried this? Mr. Farmer-in-the-Dell could then put the fuse back in, (after a hard day rounding up the longhorns and smoking his Marlboros, atop his horse), when he takes his date out that evening...to the square dance?

I would like to see passenger side key locks on the SLE's and higher end brought back. (My date likes her own key). ...Yes it's a HER....not like the latest cowboy movie.
