How to disengage auto park on a dial shifter when door is opened

[Stormbringer99]

Does anyone know how to disengage the transmission going into park every time the door is open on my ram?
Its very annoying when driving it up a hoist for oil change and can't look out the bottom of the door.
When the door is opened in drive, it automatically changes gears to Park, not a good thing really.

I use a seat belt extender
I found that if the seat belt is hooked up, i can move my truck with the door opened
Using the extender, it completes the circuit, without having the seat belt fastened

Buckle the belt. Probably a good idea anyway if you are going to be leaning out. There is always a chance of losing your balance and falling off the seat.

Or - put in 4WLow. It won't go into park.

Either make it think the seat belt is buckled or if you can train yourself as such, keep the brake lights on. With the brakes on it won't auto-park.

Seat belt extender FTW! It has the added bonus of making it much easier to put my seat belt on as well.

Thanks guys, the simple solution is the extender. I'll start shopping for these.

Do both front seats need an extender or just driver side?

Only the driver's seat needs an extender to defeat the auto-park.

I've bought seatbelt extenders for 3 vehicles and been very pleased with the quality and service from https://seatbeltextenderpros.com.

You can order online or phone their toll-free number, if you prefer.

If you keep your foot on the brake pedal it will remain in gear. Just enough pressure to make the brake lights stay on

I use to drive tractor trailers and used to open my driver's door backing into tight locations on a regular basis. So out of habit I was left backing in a trailer with my 1500 and opened my and bamm it all stops and I had NO clue what had happened, that feature annoys the **** out of me! Lol
