I just noticed this after 5 years

Truck running drivers door open cant lock doors from switch on drivers side.
Truck running pass side door open can lock doors from switch on pass side.
truck running unlock works with either door open on both doors
truck not running both switches work fine.lock/unlock

Can anyone with an 01 please try this so I know if its normal

Thanks
Dave

I just went and tried these tests on my 2001 1500. All are normal. Talk about making things complicated at the factory.

Perhaps this is so you don't accidently lock your doors when your getting out of your vehicle while its running.... Not sure just a guess though.

I've locked myself out of my 2001 twice while it was running. The lock only partially deployed, but it was enough. Window was cracked so got it open with a stick on the door unlock electric switch/drivers-side. August 2000 build/Quadcab/V8-318/R46E/fully-optioned.
