Just got an 2025 ST and took my daughter to school but couldnt unlock the ST with the engine running. The door unlock button wouldnt work while in Drive or Park. Is there some setting im missing? I know that you can pull the handle twice or shut the truck off to unlock it but thats a pain. I didnt have this issue with my 23 Raptor. I cant be the only one thats run across this.

It’s a safety feature, for the car to not unlock while it is in drive. You should be able to do it via the fob though.

I had the dealerships mobile service tech come take a look and they found a broken wire in the driver door. Should be an easy fix
