Do s2000's have an auto locking feature? When you put the key in the ignition do s2000's lock themselves, and then unlock when they key is taken out? The reason I am asking is that my S is having issues with unlocking after the ignition is turned off, and it always thinks the damn key is in the lock, and after making three trips to the dealer (They ordered me a new ignition and lock mechanism) they called me and told me s2000's don't have the ability standard and it was the after market alarm controlling it. I bought the car private party. Any comments/suggestions?

 

Auto locking is not standard in the car.

 

There is another thread about the common "thinks-key-is-in-ignition" problem. From that thread, don't expect a new ignition to cure it forever.

 

Confused about what you are trying to say exactly, but my car doesn't auto lock/unlock based on whether the keys are in the ignition or not. My car does lock itself when you leave it turned off after about a minute though.

 

^mine does that as well. its annoying as fck.

 

Do you have the factory alarm system?

 

Mine does not have an aftermarket or OEM alarm on it. It does not auto lock the doors on me.

If I use the keyfob and unlock it, do not open the doors and wait a few minutes, it will re-lock on its own.

 

Just a quick update, the dealership did replace the ignition switch because of the car thinking the key was still in the ignition after pulling it out, and it solved the locking unlocking problem so far *knocks on wood*
