I come to a stop and the icon lights up white/gray but not green like it should. The mechanic said he would change the glow plugs unless prompted by a diagnostic and has partially blame the fact I am missing the actual plug that goes into the EBD socket that the diagnostic kit is plugged into, he said maybe the car thinks because the standard plug isn't in there it's hooked up to something and won't work. Just picked this truck up and everything is great except the auto stop/start isn't working. I am at a loss, the car has had everything it needs doing to it and some and still no joy as to the issue. I am getting a glow plug warning light when starting up on cold mornings though and I know this has contributed to other people's stop start not working. It has gone back to my mechanic and a diagnostic was run once more and it returned no problems. When I got the car back the auto stop/start was working again however after the first day of having it back it stopped once more.

It has been serviced and MOT'd in line with its needs and recently gone into the garage for new break pads, full diagnostics ran and a new battery put in. The car has been fine until about 9 months ago when the stop/start feature stopped working. I bought the car 3 years ago with around 65k on the clock. So there may not in fact be any problem at all.Standard first post from someone experiencing problems and going mad! I think what is happening is that your f150’s battery-charge-algorithm computer is saying “Given the current battery state being a little low on charge, it’s more important to charge the battery and best not to use the high current demand auto start/stop feature until the battery is closer to fully charged.” That’s why the auto-stop-start feature works when you charge the battery overnight, you start your trip with a fully charged battery, so the computer is willing to use up some of that charge on auto-stop-start. Vehicles these days use a lot of electrical power, and so they usually have a computer decide how best to keep the battery charged. New vehicles that have a lot of electrical gadgets in automatic use don’t work like those of the past the new ones use a complicated computer-assisted battery charging algorithm. It’s saying it can’t properly charge the battery and do the auto start/stop function, so it is deciding to skip the latter and just focus on keeping the battery charged. In that case what you are seeing is normal behavior. In fact, absent any evidence of phantom current drains as posted above, I think it is probably working exactly as Ford’s engineers intend it to work. Not driving the truck enough or for enough miles, as mentioned above, could cause this. Not saying there’s anything wrong w/your f150.
That’s lower compared to what I measure on my Corolla after a short trip, which is more like 12.6-12.8 volts 15 minutes after shutting engine off, and appx 12.5 volts the next morning. I’ve returned home from short trips & got a 12.2 or 12.3 on the voltmeter New vehicles that have a lot of electrical gadgets in automatic use don’t work like those of the past the new ones use a complicated computer-assisted battery charging algorithm to try to get the best compromise of a charged battery and the other gadgets working. However, you won’t be able to listen to podcasts on this version. It seems the newer versions don’t detect spotify as well as this one.

Download the older version of this app (Version 1.7.6 Release). In that case what you are seeing is normal behavior. If spotify is not found after reinstalling, I found this worked for me: Releases Not driving the truck enough or for enough miles, as mentioned above, could cause this. And make sure your cell phone or other personal accessory isn’t plugged into the vehicle overnight of course, as that could put a drain on the battery. The phantom current test would catch this. One common causes is the wind is blowing on a door, which makes the computer think someone is getting into the truck to start it, so it wakes up. When you park for the night all the computers should all go to sleep after a few minutes, but sometimes something keeps waking up the computer, and when the computer wakes up it uses much more current than when it is sleeping. That will tell you if there’s something draining the battery when the truck is parked overnight. Ask your shop guys to do a phantom current drain test.
