Lock with engine running and a/c on?


Recommended Posts

Hi, I have the 2011 Transit Connect wagon. Is it possible to lock it with the engine running and the a/c on low? I may have to, briefly, soon. I read in another forum about someone who couldn't get their TC to unlock again after doing so. I have physical keys rather than key fob though. Before I even try it I wanted to see if this is going to present a problem. If it does, is there a way around it?

I lock my '15 G2 running fairly often, no problems. One key/fob still in the ignition, the other in my pocket & hit the lock button on the second one. Since yours is all-manual without any remote control buttons, I can't fathom how it would cause any problems. If there's no power actuator in your locks, the van computer cannot unlock the van - or lock it, for that matter. Easiest way to test it out is open the driver window all the way, leave it running, lock the door and close it, then try to unlock with your other key - it should work perfectly fine. If not, reach in through the open window to unlock it; either way, you'll have your answer.
