I bought a used 2018 F150 with a 2.7 EB engine. It’ll be 2 years this January. It has a tow package and off-road package but not many other extras. Three times this summer, I walked away from the truck while pressing the lock button a few times and the engine started! Now I can’t get it to work again. I tried following the manual but no luck.
Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a trick I don’t know about?
The truck has a keyed ignition and a 3-button remote (lock, unlock, and alarm).

Do you have a key ignition or push start?
Key ignition.
There might be a small button near the keyhole that you can press twice to start it. I had one on my old truck, but it was hard to see because it was worn down.

Lock, then press Start twice = Remote Start. It’s a shame this forum doesn’t allow photos. The Start button is right next to the red Alarm button.
I thought I was going nuts when I couldn’t upload a pic! But I tried something else that worked, thanks to another user—it’s called StartX. It’s plug and play.
