Going into Accessory Mode after parking

[Gonzalo92]

Has anyone else seen this? It has happened to me randomly, after a drive I go into park, press the ignition switch and instead of turning off it goes to accessory mode where the engine turns off but all the electronics stay on even after exiting.

Normal for me until I open the door then it shuts down

Missed the last bit sorry, If it stays on after opening the door the I would take it in asap, for fear of the battery drain

I have actually hit the start button twice in a row by mistake as I was opening the door and Had the same thing as you happen, but that was once and it was my fault

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

It happened to me once when I gave it an accidental double tap. Confused the heck out of me.

Yeah I think if you turn accessory mode back on "manually" It won't necessarily turn off when you open the door.

And I don't know if you're just looking for the radio, but you can turn the radio power back on without putting the Bronco in accessory mode... My kid does it all the time.

I parked the Bronco, press the button to shut it off, the radio stays on for a second until I open the door. Once I shut the door he reaches up and pushes the power button on the radio so we can listen until I get back. (I think it eventually shuts off after like 10 or 15 minutes)
