And I thought I was locking my car

Also, there is a light by the door. If it's red, its locked.

This is a joke, right? Like the Flat Earth thread?

Wait, I've been using diesel fuel, is that bad?

Not if you are putting it in the radiator where it belongs.

Doesn't it automatically lock after a few minutes?

Ive sat inside or stood around it without my fob after its off and you can hear a lot of clicking etc as if things are closing/locking?

Pretty sure that is the steering lock mechanism, not the door locks.

Yeah, that sucker sounds like Fort Knox locking up. LOL.

The center console locks as well, so you will hear that thing going off too.

You have a couple of seconds to pull the handle after locking to verify.

Touch the lock notch, then pull the handle and it won't open. This way you can rest assured that it's locked.

Hope that helps a little

I was going to comment but I am speechless.

I just wish it would lock as I walk away with the key.

No. doors do not lock automatically. I think that is the steering column which does lock down after a minute or two.

I was surprised they don't do that in 2016. I sometimes forget to lock my 2011 because the car I drive most locks automatically.

it's scary when you are under the hood! It really does sound like a deadbolt in Fort Knox being locked! haha

This is only if you have the extra security system (forgot the formal name) which is standard on Convertibles.

My ford van (in the UK) locks itself as long as you haven't opened a door.
So if you hit unlock and don't open a door it will re lock itself.

If you open a door it won't

No idea if it's the same on the mustang as mine is still a block of metal somewhere
