I have noticed that when i lock the door with the key fob and also with the lock button in the door my driver side back door doesnt lock but if i open the door the alarm goes on. Did this happen to anyone else and what to do? I just got my Ranger 10 days ago might take a trip to the dealer.

Do both rear doors not lock or is it just the one door on one side?

Will it lock if you press the lock button twice on the key fob and do you hear a horn beep?

It sounds like there is a problem with the LR door lock actuator. As new as your truck is, bring it to the Ford dealer and let them diagnose the problem.

The alarm is functioning properly if it sounds when the door is opened. It can sense the change in voltage and activate when in the locked position.

Does it have anything to do with the child safety locks?

Just got mine and both rear doors won’t lock
Do they not lock with the door switch and/or the key fob? If neither work, bring it back to the dealer.
There are settings that can control which doors unlock with the fob or the use of safety child locks but if nothing locks them it doesn't sound like a setting.

I tried all the settings and doesn’t look with fob or inside door locks. Someone else had same problem and they said it was a loose wire underneath the console. I found a way to manually do it with a black screw by the lock but then have to manually unlock with rear inside door handle. Good enough for now until I get to the dealer. Makes me wonder what other wires are loose lol

I had to have both rear locks changed under warranty at the dealer. Both child locks didn't work and one was set to not open from the inside.
