Auto Stop/Start Stopped
Hi,
I have an '18 F-150 STX w/the 5.0L V8 and auto stop/start. For the last week or so, it has just stopped. I don't mind it because the feature itself is beyond understanding to me, but I am wondering if there is anything wrong. No matter which mode I am in, or type of traffic I am driving, its off. The truck is brand new and has 1,400 miles.

I found that having the defroster on turns of the auto stop/start. Not all the time but a majority. If it’s not working and you have the defroster on turn it off and see if the engine stops. It did for me most of the times, but I can’t figure out the protocol it uses.

Have you read your manual? It has insights such as these.

Manual will explain when it works or does not I believe max a/c among other thingswill affect operation. I recall someone posting that a light touch on the brakes will cause auto stop start to not engage

Battery might be going bad.
