So, I have an '04 Kia Sedona that I picked up used about 6 months ago. The car as a remote lock / starter unit. When I turn on the engine, sometimes the doors lock automatically, and sometimes they don't. I kind of like the automatic locking doors, as I prefer to drive with my doors locked, but sometimes forget.
Does anyone know what determines if the locks will lock automatically or not? If there's some sequence that I SHOULD be doing that I'm not?
Thanks.
I may not have been clear enough in my original description. The doors lock fine if I use the automatic starter, and they all like correctly when I lock them with the lock button.
SOMETIMES, they lock when I use the key to start the car (i.e., I unlock the doors remotely, get in, close the door, start the car with the key, and poof, the doors all lock). And SOMETIMES, when I follow the same sequence (unlock doors remotely, get in, close the door and start the car with the key) they DON'T lock automatically.
