Auto Unlock / Lock sensors disabled other than driver door

[Jay Dubs]

My sensors stopped working for all doors other than the driver door. This still is enabled in the settings. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Yes, happens all the time. It's normal when the truck has been sitting for a while, or the battery isn't fully charged. They are disabled to reduce draw on the battery. Not sure if there's a workaround other than putting a charger on it when it's parked.

Yes this is normal as Meeker stated. Started to occur on my 2019 since late 2021 - early 2022. I looked it up in owners manual and it states this but i don't recall where I saw it. Go for a very long drive or trickle charge your battery and it will be back to normal.

Another clue of a low battery is that the Auto Start-Stop will stop working (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) and the radio will not stay on the full ten minutes when you shut engine off and remain in vehicle. For the past two years I've been dealing with these issues by hooking up a trickle charger when more than one of these happen. My start-stop will work again for a day or two before it stops working again. If I really wanted it to work longer, I could spring for a new AGM battery. I'll wait until the first time it doesn't start which will likely be while it's sitting in the garage.

wow very timely thread, i had the same issue with the doors and was checking the settings, the same goes for the radio not staying on, i have a 2019 and it first happened last week.

Yup, this exact issue happened to me. was an "early" sign of a dead battery. So funny to me that with so much digital this and that in these, that it can't simply tell you on any one of the displays that the battery is at a reduced charge state, but it just starts disabling systems one at a time, till you figure it out. Somewhere in the crappy Ford software, it knows the battery isn't up to *****, why can't it just say that. Or warn us in MyFordPass, something useful. What a piece of crap. I replaced my battery and the lock/unlock functions went back to normal, along with auto-start-stop, etc.

This started happening on our '18 Max at around 55K. We live in Las Vegas so remote start / engine idling is a year round thing. Went to Costco. Got a new battery. Problem solved.

Threw it on the charger just in case, it started at 48%
