Always with the snarky comments. I am just saying that when you say ignition on mode without pushing the brakes, Lincoln displays "Full Accessory Mode" on the 48 in display. Many may know it by that name.
Thanks for playing.
Hi angore. “Always with the snarky comments”.
There was nothing “snarky” in my previous reply.
However, “Thanks for playing” is snarky, and an immature statement.
And I am providing additional information, while correcting some incorrect information.
However, you
weakly attempting to insult my replies in order to cover the fact you provided some incorrect information and guesses is childish. And snarky.
Perhaps I should be snarky and point out that you have an inherent habit of posting incorrect guesses and information, and then ghosting your inaccuracies.
So first…No, that is “…not all you said”. And not wanting to endlessly debate you about the obvious is
not being snarky.
You have a basic misunderstanding of several issues, and decided to guess before you find things out.
- Like your comment about pushing the audio power button. No, if the audio power button is pushed, the audio power does not turn off when you open a door. Next time test before speaking, not afterwards.
-Or, how you quoted/copied and pasted an old version of the BMS in your earlier post. You know why? You stated…
“2. Turn ignition switch to on (don't start car). (assume accessory mode).”
Well, there is no longer a “turn the ignition switch to on”. That was for keyed ignitions, not push buttons starts. Will those instructions work for others now? There has been conflicting accounts.
Those are only two examples.
So again, there are three types of accessory modes where we can use the audio system, windows, blower motor etc.
They are as follows:
“Ignition On” mode- Pressing the Start button once (foot off brake) places the vehicle systems into “Ignition On” mode. (“Turn the ignition switch to on”…remember saying that earlier?)
The dashboard warning lights lights illuminate, blower motor will run audio system and power windows will operate etc. It will also drain the most battery power, for those interested. And that’s what this thread was all about.
“Delayed Accessory” mode- On the other hand, pressing the Start button twice (foot off the brake will place the vehicle systems into “Accessory Mode” (or more accurately, “Delayed Accessory Mode”).
In this case, the dashboard warning lights, blower motor etc. do
not run. Only the Audio system and power windows will have power to operate. And they will turn off after 10 minutes. That is the
“Delayed Accessory Mode”, as controlled by the battery saver feature.
This mode comes in handy when we want to listen to the audio system or use the windows without the full power drain of the Ignition on mode.
“Accessory Mode”- After the 10 minute “Delayed Accessory Mode” timeout (and at other times), we can then access the Audio System alone by pressing the Audio system power button. Doing so will turn the Audio system back on.
This is Accessory mode. Be patient though, because it can sometimes take several seconds to power back up. And if you press it a second time before it powers up, you’ll turn it off.
Again, this mode comes in handy when we want to listen to the audio system or use the windows without the full power drain of the Ignition on mode )and Delayed Accessory Mode gas times out), without having to go through the foot-off-the-brake-two-push-of-the-Start button dance again.
The audio system will keep running until it is turned off. Opening a door does not turn it off. There are several ways to turn it off.
You may have trouble understanding how our vehicles actually operate and did not find this information useful. Others did understand my information and found it useful. That is all that matters to me.
Good luck.
