T6 Will Not AF in Manual Mode

when I place the camera in Manual mode it will not auto-focus, when I turn the dial to sport mode, micro mode, etc, the AF works fine. I'm using the standard 18-55mm kit lens, the A/F switch on the lens is set to A/F, contacts on camera and lens are clean. Camera and lens are less than 1 year old has only been used a few times, but never in the M S A P modes until today.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Paco,

Just out of curiosity, does the AF work in Av mode or Tv modes?

Paco,

It sounds like you may have a faulty selection switch.

Have you tried a different lens to see if the problem extends to all lenses, or if it is confined to just that one lens?
