Macbook pro shuts down when the lid is closed

My Macbook pro(late 2019) is shutting down when I closed the lid instead of going to sleep. I tried resetting the smc, nvdram, using recovery mode, safe mode, clearing out the disk and reinstalling os. Is there anything else I should try?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

To trouble shoot further you can:


Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test will take a little longer as caches get rebuilt.

This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.


Test issue in another user (or guest user) account  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
