    Installed LED light bulbs in all the interior lights in the truck cab. Now when I try to lock the doors when leaving the truck using the driver exterior door handle, the sensor does not work until the interior lights time out. Anyone else experience this problem?

    I didn't realize you can lock the doors. I know you can unlock, but not lock.

    I read the manual the first day I got my truck and learned this. The lines on top of the handle lock the door.

    Dealer did not give you basic "how-to's"? Owners manual?
