Auto start/stop no longer working since update.

[DriveAllNight]

Ah, okay... I read in another thread that there's a start stop status on the settings (under the trip category).
It continuously lays the reason as being 'battery charging'.

Pretty young battery to be failing, but stranger things have happened.

I have it on a tender, so I'll see how it is in the morning.

I do hope my disconnect didn't screw with anything. It seemed completely uneventful.

A couple of things to consider:

Battery age is not the same as when you actually got it.

Batteries like to get fully charged on longer drives, if you do a lot of short around town driving and stop and go traffic, your battery isn't getting enough time to charge. Longer trips on roads where you don't have to stop makas a huge difference.

The easy question, have you hooked up something new, like lights or any other potential power drain that may be happening.

Critters getting under the hood, turning wires into an all you can eat buffet, a short can easily happen.

And of course, faulty parts, bad chips, relays, modules and any other possible malfunction.

People use the start/stop on these cars? I think it is such a hassle and don't like the delay in starting to drive right away from a stop. I know it's only a second, but it just feels very odd to me.

I turn it off when I'm off road because it messes with the AC, but otherwise I like the gas saving.

It's admittedly not much.
