Power running boards - keep them in OUT position?

[kjjohnson]

My driver side running board on my '19 w/ 1500 miles it intermittently working. I tried to just set them to the OUT position using the settings. Seems that any setting (OUT, OFF) is defaulted back to AUTO after driving a short time.

Anyone find a way to keep the running boards in the OUT position? Or OFF? My 2019 Limited resets to auto as well as the loaner 2019 Platinum I am using while they repair the running board. The settings are there but they keep defaulting once I start driving again.

These running boards stick out farther than the non retractable running boards. If you could drive with them out you risk hitting a curb, etc....or leave them out while going through a car wash you could damage them. Please don’t ask how I know.

Drive with the door open.

Well you can’t do that because if you open a door while moving the trans will shift to park and cause all sorts of damage, never open a door while moving......

Not if your seatbelt has been buckled. We’ve been over this...

Or just come to a stop, open the door, and then start moving again...it stays in D if you do it that way.

I had issues recently. Took it to the Lincoln dealer and they cleaned sensors and updated the software and I haven’t had any issues.

I don’t take my Expedition to Ford dealers any more because they seem incompetent and never fix my issues.

YES! I have come to the same conclusion and also only take mine the Lincoln dealer. Service there has always been excellent and they always have loaners.

I do wonder if you can have any Blue Oval serviced at a Lincoln dealership, or if it’s up to the Lincoln dealer’s discretion.

I have mine set to off (in) and they have stayed that way. Not sure why the "out" position wouldn't work the same, but then we're talking Ford logic.

Auto stop start andi you think they use logic?
