Why the hell do the doors lock when I close the gate???

This happened once when I had the soft top on, so no biggie.. but now that I've got the hard top on, how the hell do I open her up? Don't feel like calling the cops or a locksmith to come into our parking garage here at work.. anyone know how to easily get in?

 

Thankfully our security guys had a jimmy, and it (surprisingly) only took 10 seconds to unlock the door.

But to add to my initial query; Is there a way to modify the locking system to keep it from locking the doors when the gate gets shut?

 

go through your owners manual and see if maybe there is a setting for that.

 

need more info:

so is the Jeep running and you open the rear gate then shut it and it locks, or is the Jeep off?

Cause, i have a hardtop and i've never experienced what you are talking about.

How are you unlocking the gate in the 1st place? with a remote, or with the key in the gate?

 

Hmm, this is strange because I just went out to recreate the door lock and this time it didnt lock.

I dont have the factory, nor an aftermarket alarm.

I'll investigate again later after lunch.

 

I have the OEM alarm and this has never happened to me.

 

Somebody have the same Key Fob tranmitting frequency and playing with your mind????

 

Never happened to me either, it doesn't lock unless I tell it to or gets above 15mph or 20mph. I'm back there all the time, one of my kids rides back there in the little seats, and I put my computer bag back there when I go to work.

 

beat me to it
thats why i didn't get power locks............and because i'm cheap

 

This happened to me as well, the Jeep was not running, it had been then I shut it off and got out, shut the drivers door, opened the gate, shut it and it locked; luckly the soft top was on and my 5 year old was close by. I opened the side window and put him through it.
now aI have a spare key sitting in the bottom of my air filter box. As said before , it will start it momentarily only, but it will get you in it every time.
