The Best Way To "Default Off" The Auto Start Stop on Ford F150 Trucks Without Eliminating Functions

The best option should be a factory setting of being able to do that very thing. As the vehicle owner, I think it should be up to them to decide how they want the vehicle to perform. I know, we apparently aren't worthy of doing that in the opinion of the powers to be but should.

I did a search for “Start Stop Eliminator” and couldn’t find anything that looks like the device you’re showing.

So creating the problem and selling the solution.
Ford has to fix this

OMG !!!! I needed this video 5 years ago. lol Better late than never. I hate my start/stop function !!! I'm going to buy that cable. Thanks !!!

I bought bimmercode, it works perfectly. No warranty issues since it changes settings that are already there

Thanks for the video!! START/STOP does NOT save gas (much)!! It takes MORE fuel to start a gasoline engine than to run it for a short while. Way back when I was a teen, it took 2 minutes of fuel to restart a car. With better efficiency engines, I'm sure that time has shortened, BUT it ain't ZERO! So, there is no benefit. The engine DOES turn off in the heat, so no AC in SE La is NOT a smart move. Also, about the "powers that be"- The car is YOURS. YOU bought it. You can do what you want with it, as long as it is legal. Are you responsible for making sure that what you do will not harm the car? Yes! So, do your homework first. Starting and restarting your car puts a lot of wear and tear on your engine. This causes the need for expensive engine repair. So much for the "powers that be". 😊

Just program your to turn it off and is free.

Phe, just disconnect the plug at the Neg terminal at the battery, free safe and completely sound the only thing it does is turn off the start stop system, have done this every sense they come out with this stupid technology.

Gracias

Government in our life again...

Hey does the auto start stop plug mess up the warranty??

So THE ONLY Frakkin option to disable this "feature" is to waste $100 at this random 3rd party company and plug an extra component into your vehicle and who knows WTF it's doing. But somehow everyone is blindly trusting and promoting this company. Wow.

My Chrysler Pacifica Limited has a ton of different settings for everything from mirrors to lighting, and everything in between. It would have been nice to have a setting to turn off auto stop, but unfortunately you have to remember to turn off the switch every time you start it. I chose the auto stop eliminator. It took 15 minutes to install, and now I don't have to think about it.

I followed the link for the OBDII version but I didn't see one for the Ford Bronco. Just had the wire harness version. Dang!

If your going to hawk parts for profit read the magneson act so you can stop frightening people about voided warranties. If you splices wires burn your truck down no warranty for Darwin award winners. You install a part and that part didn't break the truck... Ie letting idle doesn't break things then any dealer who tries to void any warranty item is committing a felony. Hawk parts don't be a lawyer

None of the above. Use Forscan, if warranty is needed, flash the default settings back thru FORScan 🤷🏼‍♂️

Call me cheap but $100 is a bit expensive for this hardware. I went with the free option of unplugging the black connecter (bottom one of 3) on the box just under the steering wheel. The only downside of this is that it removes the power to the tow lights, but for a guy like me who might tow something once every 2 years, I can just plug it back in for the trip.

The recommended solution is cost prohibitive...way over priced. FORSCAN option is best...obviously. Warranty is never an option anyway since nothing they cover is ever anything that breaks, and when it does it's 2 days after the warranty expired. Besides, you going to let a dealership work on your vehicle? Good luck with that and you better have deeeeeeep pockets.

Or just go into settings,advanced settings,vehicle then click on engine start stop box and it's permanently disabled

There is a easy way just raise the hood and unplug the 2 wire plug on the positive battery terminal and it will keep running

Unfortunately those two options are not available for Honda Ridgeline.

What is name of this product

Stop puchasing the car if you dont like the features. Stop checking yourself out of the grocery store or you will end up stocking shelves you brain dead You will eventually be prosecuted for theft when you miss an item but your too stupid to see it coming yes Stupid

I have the Autostop Eliminator in my 2019 Edge ST since I bought it in late 2019. It is perfect. I highly recommend the produce.

Good presentation, and I'm glad you didn't promote some of the bad solutions that are common on the internet. I suggest everyone who wants to defeat the system use one of the products you showed, which will keep all the other systems working as designed. Messing with modern vehicles electronics is a good way to screw up multiple systems. They are much too complex for the average owner to mess with. Yes, those solutions are expensive for what they are, but all the other cheap fixes are no where near as good.

I came across an option while perusing the 2022 order form and found an option to have the start/stop shut off at the factory. People looking to order a new vehicle from Ford might want to ask about it. It might be a fleet option, I couldn't tell from the form I saw.

I heard another way is I guess when you pull a trailer the auto shut off wont happen so to trick the system to think your towing a trailer is to get a trailer light tester ( like $4) and plug it in where you would plug in your trailer lights. Would like to know if this actually works

This feature is bad for the battery, bad for the starter and bad for the engine ($$$$). And it's utterly unnerving. I hate it. It's a battery eater and the proof of it is that start/stop is automatically put to off when outside temperature is 4 celsius or less.
Finally it does no good for environment as replacing these parts has its ecological print, far exceeding the negligible fuel economy. (Except for certain exceptionnal situations like a big trafic jam or waiting in line at the car wash.)
I think it will be withdrawn some day, or at least disabling it become permanent until you put it on again.

I am having issues with not getting to work had new battery fitted under warranty that fixed the issue for 2 weeks and then stopped working again, not that want it to work lol

Do you have a link to the device that connects directly to OBD port?

I have a 2019 ranger I just plugged a nite light into my 120 outlet and painted it black and that disables it

On my silverado the plug on the battery has apparently shaken loose all by itself. No idea how that happened. Hope I remember to tell the dealer when next I need service. I'll just have to live without it for now, sigh.

I don't know about old RAV4s, but the newer ones would never turn off with something like the AC on. They look at 50 parameters before they turn off. So if outside temp is too cold, won't turn off either.

Ordered, thank you

Hello, will that start stop eliminator work on a 2022 Ford Transit 350HD Cargo Van with the 3.5 ECOBoost engine?

I'll just push the free button! Well I just got an F150 that has AS/S, maybe it will start to annoy me eventually.,if it does I will buy this ...But the as/s is really the dumbest thing ever installed on a vehicle. Sure...everyone wants their vehicle to conk out at a busy intersection!

I just stopped driving and began using the Star Trek teleportation device I received last Xmas.

Unplug tow module.

You can just unplug the sensor from your battery.

I have a 2019 F150 5.0. Once in a great while when you go to start makes a loud boom any ideas

Hello, will that start stop eliminator work on a 2022 Ford Transit 350HD Cargo Van with the 3.5 ECOBoost engine?

Can't find the one on site that stays plugged in to the OSD port and no programming done

Great video presentation ✊🏾💯🍻 DP
Cali.

Disconnect plug near ground of battery all gone

2019 F150 5Lt I just put it in sport mode. Shuts off auto start stop. Someone knew it wasn't "SPORTY" having it turn off during spirited driving......go figure....

undo single plug at battery negative that monitors battery voltage/condition for stop/start system...no reference voltage...no stop/start....turns on "stop/start deactivated" icon on dash.

Hi, does it work also for honda ridgeline 2020? If so, can you pls give me the link where can I purchase it. I'm from Ontario Canada Thanks

the link shows the wire in harness, where is the plug in under the dash?
