This is part of the security sytem of the Kia. Its connnected to the alarm system. If you wish to prevent this you can disconnect the automatic locks or just pull the fuse from the alarm box. Hence you will also disable the alarm. When the car is started it senses the electrical difference and assumes that you are in the car. Then the alarm box locks the doors.

WHY would the doors of a 2000 Kia Sportage automatically lock and the windows not work?

I have a 2000 model kia sportage. Recently the automatic door locks, rear window wiper, and all of the electric windows just stopped working? Also at the same time the engine light came on, I had it check by an advanced auto computer check and they said it said heat sensor. What is this and does it have anything to do with the other problems? diana.3310@hotmail.com
