I took delivery of my 2024 Ford Bronco Badlands on Feb. 1, 2024. Up until now everything has worked perfectly on it. Just the other day the auto start/stop feature has begun to act up a bit as the feature is now only functioning intermittently.
I know that many folks on this forum have disabled this auto start/stop feature through various means, but believe it or not I actually like the feature and want the feature to function as designed. Attached are a couple of screen shots of the instrument cluster of my Bronco when the feature is not working.
I connected my Noco Genius 10 battery charger and when it was finished charging the battery was at 12.8V. So I took it out for a good long drive of 35-40 miles or so today around town and the auto start/stop feature was still not working. After running a couple of errands the auto start/stop feature started to function again and then when I got home it stopped working again. I am not sure what would cause this type of intermittent behavior. Perhaps a bad connector somewhere or a faulty computer module or perhaps the battery is defective?
When I got home my battery measured at 12.4V so are my voltage readings normal for this battery? It is sort of ironic that I want this feature to function as designed and I see many threads on this forum where Bronco owners are trying to disable this feature.
Any ideas, otherwise it will be an appointment with a Ford dealership to let them sort it out.
