Hmmm, and you've got it in ECON? Does it AutoStop with the enviromental turned off? If it does then there has to be a broken wire or a bad connection to where the outside temp sensor is supose to be. I installed a 3.3 K-Ohm resister in mine when i discovered it was gone and it Autostopped perfectly.

Go to this link in the encyclopedia, it has a good list of what Autostop needs and what will also keep it from engaging.

I read the reference link, and I read my owners manual. Either I just don't understand how it works, or I have a manfunction. Regardless of which settings I try, I never see the work "ECON" alone in the display, like my owners manual shows. I always see the word "ECON" with the words "A/C On" or A/C Off" above the ECON word.

In addition, If I push the off button, shutting everything off, and then hit the fan button, creating a fan breeze, the car will never autostop under any conditions.
