I present the Auto Start/Stop Temporary fix

corner torn from a business card works fine and is barely detectible

It does, but you don’t want it to slip in to the actual button housing. But that’s how I first did it.

So, for everyone who wants Auto Start/Stop to stay off, I have a Jerry Rigged has worked for the last three days solution. I’d love to have longer term data, but 72 hours is what I have so far with no fault codes.

I bent a little sheet metal just thick enough to slid in under the button, than depressed the button, the Auto Start/Stop button now stays in the depressed position due to the friction of the little metal shim.

It is L shaped, so it can’t slip inside the button cavity.

I make no claim this is “good” or “not good” only that after 3 days it’s still in the “off” position.

Has anyone tried jumping the terminals on the back of the switch?

Might work but getting to the back of the switch is not easy

Guessing the center panel doesn't just pull off?

The whole panel is an integrated unit with a single connector.its a ‘line replaceable item’ in aero speak, you can’t access the back of the switch

I only know that because I saw one for sale on eBay!
