Have appointment on Wednesday. I reseated all the fuses, no luck. Radio has gone out a few times now, cruise control went out on the highway (although maybe it has adaptive cruise control and it turned it off, I didn’t look into it). I’m assuming all the issues are stemming from an electrical issue. Hoping the dealer gives me a Ford Bronco as a loaner.

Stop/start won't work when the A/C is on or when the weather is extremely cold. The stop/start battery occasionally needs to charge and you'll get a "stop/start not available" message. Some things won't work when a sensor is on the fritz. Example: my clutch position sensor went bad at 12k miles. My cruise control stopped working. I said, "WTF?" Then I thought about it. If my clutch position sensor is out, the cruise control doesn't know what position the clutch is in, so to be safe, it's going to put itself out of service. Use your warranty and let the pros work on it.

Again, ESS WILL work with AC on. It simply does unless you set the thing manually to low setting. In auto mode, or other AC modes, ESS will shut it off. And it will sometimes work in very cold weather - depending on how often you driver the JT.

To know why the ESS isn't working, scroll up or down to page 7 on the cluster display............ it almost always gives a reason.

ESS definitely is not working. The error code is displayed on the dash.
