Power Locks

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The power lock/unlock feature requests all of the vehicle doors to lock or unlock upon a request from the door lock control switch, keyless entry keypad, or remote keyless entry (RKE) transmitter. Power locking and unlocking functions independently of the key position, vehicle speed, or transmission position. The vehicle security module (VSM) activates internal relays to supply the correct powers and grounds for the door lock actuators.
