You can also use your fingers to release the catch (at least on my super crew I am able to)
There isn't much back there, probably decided to save a but of money on a release that was not 'necessary' for most applications. Unlike the passenger side with the vehicle jack.

 

I understand on a SCrew it's pretty easy to have enough room to stick your hand/arm down there, but not a SCab. On my '12, and '17, I managed it, with abrasions and bruises on my arm. On my '20, it just wasn't gonna happen, until I saw somewhere, I don't want credit for it, that if you take the hinge apart between the back and seat cushion, you've got tons of room. Look in the corner of the seat on the outboard side, there's a flap there that covers a 13mm hex head hinge bolt. Take it out, and lift up on bottom of seat back. You'll be amazed at how much room and vision you have to get at the release. Best part, no injuries to your arm or manhood, don't know why no one ever mentioned it before.

 

So, I did not read ever post on this thread, but skimmed through a lot of them. I know most here are not a fan of the auto engine stop feature. For those that use it, we know that if we are light on the brake it what stop or we can let up a little to restart it if we want. I found another way today. If the engine is off, yank on the steering wheel and the truck will start back up. Is this old news?

 

Interesting. I knew about varying the brake pressure to restart it, but had never heard of turning the wheel. I am not a fan of the feature, to the point that I bought the autostop eliminator.

 

Yet Another Autostartstop comment:
Or you could just reach over and push the "Disable" button!
But what I wanna know - and I've asked before - Is my 2019 the only one where, when you push that button, the radio comes on? Not every time, but maybe 2 out of 5 times I push the button.
It's not a real aggravation, but I got to wondering if it might be just a part of a larger computer problem.

 

This tip is not for people who don’t use the auto start stop. As to your radio problem that’s got to be a software issue.Hope you get it figured out.

 

I'd say @Toolferone 's comment was a useful tip for those who like to use that feature. I found it useful info to learn, even though I no longer use the the auto start/stop.

Whether yours is the only one or not, you seem to be the only one who has reported the radio issue on this forum. That would definitely be an abnormal electrical or computer problem, and ought to be covered under warranty unless you are already over mileage on your bumper to bumper warranty.

 

I'll call my dealer when things start getting back to normal around here - but no, still under warranty - only a little over 3000 miles on the truck. It was a leftover new 2019 when we leased it a couple months ago.
And I do use the autostopstart feature occasionally, and know how to use the brake pedal pressure to better control it. Didn't know about the steering wheel thing, though.
thanks

 

My Sirius radio randomly turns on to an advertisement to reactivate my service, Anyone know how to stop this?

 

If you have Forscan you can remove Sirius from the sources.
