You might want to get that looked at as it doesn't seem right. I can do what you are doing and my truck wont start or try to start. It will just go into accessory mode and prime the fuel pump.

What model year? On my 17 I can press and hold the button until the cows come home and the truck isn't starting unless I have my foot on the brake.

Mine started by holding the push button down for three seconds and I was standing outside the truck, no contact with the brake pedal. 2019 Platinum 250.

I'm new to push button start. I didn't know you could start the truck without your foot on the brake. My truck is a 17, I give it a try today.

I actually just recently learned of it on here. I originally thought it didnt work on my truck, because I was trying with the door closed. It only works with the drivers door open.

2018. Tried the 3 second hold to start today. It only works if the door is open.... or closed. I can’t remember which one. One way worked and the other didn’t. 🤔 Tried it this morning and it’s been a long day.

Yes, with the door open. Held start button down for at least 5 or 6 seconds and nothing.

I start mine often without getting in the truck. I just reach in and push on the brake pedal with my hand.

Then I guess you would appreciate that feature, although its not difficult to press the brake with one hand . Maybe it only works on certain years. It works on mine, but I have no reason that I can think of to start it that way. I either remote start, or sit my butt down and start it.
