That may be an optional function. You may have to reprogram that option. Some doors lock when the car is put in "Drive" others when the car exceeds a certain speed ...and you may have the option on the Caddy to do either or ...not have the locks do anything.

How, exactly, you do it on your Cad I don't know. Check the owners manual if you have it. Here's a downloadable .pdf for the manual:

Check out some Caddy-specific forums...yours is not the only car with this problem. A quick Google search hopefully to get you pointed in the right direction:

SOURCE: four wheel drive does not work

I had this problem before. My mechanic fixed it though. He said that the 4 wheel drive operates on a vacuum system. He said he could replace it with the same type but I would probably have this problem again. So I had him put on manual locking hubs. I havn't had any problems yet but I have to get out and turn the hubs by hand.

When shift into drive auto door locks blows fuse

I have a 99volvo S70 GLT and the key is stuck in ignition. it drives fine and shifts perfectly. it turns off just won't come out. I can not lock doors from inside the car but I can manually lock the doors...

My car had the same problem. Turns out the gear shift was not correctly going into Park. My mechanic adjusted the gear shift and now it's fine.
