Hi
I see on my 08 fusion that the remote only opens the
driver's door lock. Every other car I've had the remote
opens all the doors. Not very convenient. Is there a way to
have it open all the doors like the button inside does?

Yep
Works just like your crown vic. Two clicks. Funny I don't
see that in my owners manual. Maybe I just haven't found
the right page!
Thanks Tom

Look for "progressive unlock". I think this is a great feature for urban
areas....

Picture thius... you (or your loving bride) are on the drivers side of your
car..... someone that looks like they might be concern is on the other
side.... The door you're aiming for unlocks.... the door he's aiming for
doesn't.... One small modicum of "peace of mind" in a world that doesn't
give much peace of mind.

Top postingly yours....

Most Ford remotes act that way. Double clicking on the unlock button
will open all doors.

And you can change that on some models by pushing both the lock and unlock
button for longer then 3 sec to change it to 1 push open all doors

Have you tried pressing the button a SECOND time to open the other doors?
