Press lock, close door, 3 beeps and it unlocks?

I am having a problem locking the door when the key is nowhere near the truck. I can lock with the key, away from truck but when I press lock and close it up, it beeps 3 times and unlocks?

no chance the spare fob is in the truck? Perhaps @Jimmy07 can shed some light on why this may be occurring

No there is no fob in the truck, that was my first thought. It's crazy

Does that happen if you close it first and then lock it?

Which lock button are you pushing?
If its the one on the door handle, you need to make sure you are not touching the inside of the door handle as that is the unlock for the keyless entry.
Took me a while to figure that one out. A normal person would grab the handle and push that button to lock it. But this one works differently.

Do you have, or did you add passive entry to the truck?
Does this happen when you have the driver door open (no fob present), press the door lock button on the inside master driver door switches, then shut the door?

Mine does the same since i added Passive Entry. I assumed that I must have missed a step somewhere with programming. I've been too lazy to go back through Alfa to double check

Did you install the rear antenna behind the license plate?

I haven't yet, the box kinda got misplaced waiting on a warm day lol

That’s why your truck is behaving like this. There is a feature on the truck called fobik safe. This prevents you from locking the fob inside the truck, hence the three beeps and automatic unlock when it detects the fob inside the cab after the locked door is shut. On the non-passive entry trucks, this is monitored by using four antennas- one under the center seat and one on the back wall to detect the fob inside the cab, and two in the rear doors to detect the fob outside of the cab.
When you configure the truck for passive entry, the rf hub is now looking for a 5th antenna (behind the license plate) to make a determination on where the fob is. If that antenna is not installed, there will be a missing antenna fault stored, and the fobik safe system will go into a failsafe mode. That means that no matter what, if the driver door is open, and the doors are locked using the inside master lock switch, the doors will automatically unlock when you shut the door.

Thanks for that explanation. I had no idea.

I truly miss manual locks and keys….

I am sorry I have been away. I am on layoff and out riding the bike. It happens when door is open and master lock is pressed and then door is shut. Remote is in my pocket outside the truck.
