How to Disable the Door Locks on a Neon

Many Dodge vehicles have the auto lock feature. The auto lock feature is handy because it automatically locks your doors once they are closed. This can be a nuisance if you've got a lot of heavy groceries to transport from your Dodge Neon to your home. Disable the auto lock feature in a few quick steps when you need it. Enable it to ensure that the door lock feature is working when you need it to.

  • Open the driver door and step into the vehicle. Close all the doors.

  • Put on your seatbelt to disable the seatbelt chiming. This will help you avoid confusion when programming the auto door lock.

  • Press the "Lock" button on the driver's door within 30 seconds. You'll hear a single chime to confirm that the auto lock feature has been disabled.
