Shortcuts Won't Turn Bluetooth On

I use Shortcuts to turn on bluetooth, turn off my wifi, and play my podcasts when I get into the car, but Shortcuts won't turn on Bluetooth. I'm on an iphone 7s running 12.2. I deleted and re-created the shortcut and everything works, except bluetooth. Also, please add ringer volume to the shortcuts list.


Thanks in advance,

Mark

I'm narrowing the problem down. I just realized that if wifi or bluetooth have a dark gray icon with a line through them when viewed from control center, the shortcuts will turn them on. If they are already on, the shortcut commands will also turn them off correctly. If the bluetooth or wifi icon is light gray without a line through it, the shortcuts won't work.
