Dude you are a life saver! I have just over 600 miles on my 2021 ford ranger xlt and it was driving me crazy! I thought about just dealing with pushing the button everytime but I always seem to forget and then bam it shuts off, pretty annoying. Thank you 100x!

Thank you Jim! I think it is a great work around for always having to press that one time Ford auto start/stop cancel switch! Remember, if you tow, hook the plug back up as it may affect the tow function...per some of my viewers, then simply unplug it again, once you are done towing!

The night light trick is a much better idea. Disconnecting the connector this video recommends actually disables your entire battery monitoring system (BMS). 😮😮😮This can result in getting stranded without warning! BMS is super important in newer vehicles with so many different loads on the battery.

@user-di4bt7qu2i 2 года назад

Thanks Brother! You saved my sanity. I just bought a $138 Module from Range Technology and it didn't work on my 2021 XLT Ranger! They neglected to tell me that it only works for the F-150. I found your video just as I was reaching the depths of despair and I'm deeply grateful! As a side note, the auto start/stop feature is the worst example of corporate overreach and virtue signaling that I have ever seen. It's no different than having someone reach into your car and turn off the ignition when you're at a stop light. Shame on ford for letting the marketing guys take them over the cliff. And shame on the cowardly engineers who didn't push back on management when they first proposed this stupid idea. I would not have purchased a ford had I known of the start/stop feature. On a happier note, I'm subscribing to your channel based on this video alone, and I look forward to your other vids.

@HowToHeaven 2 года назад

I totally agree on all fronts! Thank you for the compliments, and for subscribing! Check out my latest video if you are into cars (Tucson Cars & Coffee 9/4/21)

@erroneus00 7 месяцев назад

Yes it has to be for the model of your vehicle. The "thing in the middle" is inserted into your car's communications network. The messages are often unique to the model of the vehicle. So the start/stop device IDs for different cars and trucks will be different. For example, I have a Ford Maverick. I wouldn't expect the F150 thing to work in my Maverick for this reason. It basically works like >> Push button, the button talks to the network "Hi I'm the ASS button (auto-start-stop) on the Ford Maverick [device ID 12345] and I just disengaged my ASS." This is what the device "remembers." It remembers that it sends a "disengage" or "engage" message to the car communication network bus. There may be a way, using forscan, to make the F150 device work! I recall a video where a guy installed an upgraded temp control device and it didn't work until he went into forscan and changed the device ID for the temp control device. Then the device worked fine. I imagine you could do the same thing by telling your system the ASS button ID is that of the F150 and it too will begin to work. Now, what that device ID is, I don't know. There are F150 owners out there who could probably ID what forscan settings are needed to make that change. But the device is essentially "spoofing the ASS button" or probably directing a specific mode setting (not a toggle) somehow. Alternatively, the seller of the F150 device might also be able to help you reprogram the thing for your model so that it spoofs the device you have.

Hello, it’s Mr. Pete. Your videos are very well done and the editing is excellent. That is how I fixed my Toyota. However there was a price to pay. I get a big warning on the dashboard that I cannot get rid of. And the warning covers A lot of the other information on the dashboard. No good deed goes on punished. Ford had a better idea. I am surprised that this feature does not seem to bother most people. I can tell that it annoys you, as much as it annoys me. Happy new year.

I disabled mine by plugging a little nightlight used in my bathroom into the 120 volt outlet between the seats in back of the console. If the light has a light sensor make sure you block it out with tape to make sure it stays on. Don't worry, the outlet shuts off when the car shuts off.

That is most likely because a 110v accessory will drain the battery, and Ford wouldn't want you to have auto stop prevent you from completing your journey.

@trekingusa104 2 года назад

Another thing is it will save your turbo (ecoboost) the turbo can get hot and shutting down a turbo quickly hot will damage it. Also why we should let our engines warm up before driving in the cold. Sudden temperature changes will damage turbos.

@HowToHeaven 2 года назад

An excellent point!! When the engine shuts down, especially after hard acceleration, the turbo may still be spinning and turning off the engine increases the likely hood that the bearing may not get enough oil, which will wear the turbo bearings quicker. Thanks for watching HowToHeaven

@erroneus00 7 месяцев назад

Does not work for my 2022 Ford Maverick. I mean it probably functions right but the problem is this: Big Red "Charging System (new line) Service Soon" message appears repeatedly and never goes away. There might be a Forscan method of hiding that error report but the fact is, it seems Ford caught onto this method and decided to annoy the driver/owner. I have an "eco mode" I'd also like to set as default but can't do that either without some janky solution. I don't know how expensive the "bus insertion" method is (I guess I will look) but that would appear to be the only way. What is "bus insertion"? That's what that not-free device is. It interfaces with the engine/car communications network bus. The OBD2 talks on that bus as does everything else. This "thing in the middle" device just adds a pass-thru in-line device that sends the signal that is the same as the start/stop signal from the button for auto-start-stop. I did get the "ASS disabled" (Auto-Start-Stop) symbol though... just the big red warning as well. Not clean... I would expect if you updated your system control firmware, you might get this message as well.

Thanks for this!!! I've had that feature on many a rental car and have hated it. I am taking delivery of a new 2021 Ranger this weekend and knew that I would want this gone, but assumed I'd have to buy one of the OBD2 connectors. Thanks to you, I don't have to! That said, a lot of people are complaining about "government overreach." I'm confused by this as some people want this and it does provide some value (depending on how you drive and where you drive). The "problem" is not the feature, just that Ford did not create a setting to disable it for the situations where there is no (or a negative) value for the owner.

@HowToHeaven 2 года назад

Valid point! I look at it as a cost benefit analysis. I don't think the wear and tear and replacement cost on the starter is worth the gas savings! It is also an inconvenience. Thanks for watching!

@nightflh4999 Год назад

The two wires that you disconnected is to your BMS which is your battery monitor sensor. I am not sure that's a good thing to do, you may overcharge your battery or under charge it. I have to do some reach on this. How is your battery? I would think just pulling the fuse to that component would be safer for your battery. Did you connect a OBD2 scanner to see what happens. I just ordered one to pull codes. did your battery light come on? Thanks for the video it was good. It got me thinking.

@HowToHeaven Год назад

I owned the Ranger for 8 months with NO battery problems. It's a ground sensing wire, I am sure it tells the computer that the charges is sufficient to restart the engine, thereby making it ok to shut the engine off. When you disconnect that wire, the computer won't shut the engine off. It is NOT a charging wire. Read through the comments, this is a safe method of disabling the Auto Start/Stop feature and is easily returned to factory specs! Thanks for watching!

Not sure about the remote start being affected but makes sense . This wire provides the signal for the Battery Management system so un-hooking it does affect other things . It will force the battery to charge at 100% all the time even if it doesn't need to . There's always consequences .

Neat, though you have just disconnected the battery monitor. The vehicles doesn't know the battery state of charge anymore, so it just keeps running the engine to maintain charge. No issue there, but if the battery is losing charge you won't know and the vehicle can't implement battery saver strategy.

@HowToHeaven Год назад

Yes, but it's a choice you have to make. The charging system will maintain the battery charge as in any car, but the computer can't monitor it, which is why the computer disables the auto stop/start function. I have been told in the comments that it may affect towing although it is simply a matter of reconnecting it whey you tow. The way I looked at it, if you have a battery issue, then it will be apparent and easy to diagnose, whether you reconnect the monitor or not the battery saver strategy isn't going to change that it just prolongs a dead battery condition.

That was awesome advice just did it. Have you noticed any problems since doing it?

@HowToHeaven 2 года назад

I didn't when I owned the Ranger, but read all the comments for some great tips.

I discovered another simple fix for this. The regular defroster button, (not high) this + fan set to 1 or 2 (silent) also switches the AC on-LOW. On my 2017 SE, this blocks the auto-stop/start. AND unlike the console button for the stop/start, this fix stays on when you restart the car. And to my knowledge, this is also the only way turn the A/C on "low". and for the record, I still get over 27mpg (city) with this left on. Another reason I know this is doing what I think it is, if I'm stopped at a light, and I want to switch on "recycle", (you have to turn off the defroster first). The INSTANT I turn off the defroster, the engine stops. lift foot off break engine starts. Or, tap the defroster button, engine starts.

I'm sure that procedure may help someone! Thanks for watching!

I'm going to try this on my 2020 Explorer ST! I hope it has the same plug

@HowToHeaven 3 года назад

I would bet $ that it does, I know of other vehicles that Ford produces that have this same plug!

@HowToHeaven 3 года назад

Your welcome, really is a shame that this information is such a secret! It works with sooo many Newer Ford Models too!!

@louiskoschmeder1043 Год назад

My car is a 2020 explorer. I did disconnect the BMS cable and yes the start/stop function ceased. Reading more about the BMS function I decided it was not wise to leave the cable disconnected. However, after reconnecting the cable I find that the auto start/stop is no longer automatic, I.e., on the screen when I stop, there is an A with a diagonal line through it. And, no engine shut down. What I don’t know is whether the BMS is functioning or not.

@htmoore68 3 года назад

Works great on my 2021 Ranger. Only side effect I’ve seen so far is after being parked for a day I got a notice from the Ford app on my phone that the remote start/stop has been disabled to conserve battery. I assume that the sensor being unplugged has something to do with it.

@HowToHeaven 3 года назад

Yes, I believe that the signal wire from the battery, being disconnected, fools the ECM into NOT activating the Start/Stop feature, because it thinks the battery is Low. It is basically a Ford safety signal so that, in regular use (Start/Stop activated/wire connected), if your battery is LOW, your car doesn't STOP because it will be unable to START.

@HowToHeaven 3 года назад

Yes it does and isn't conserving the battery one of the benefits of this mod, besides reducing wear and tear on you starting system?

@lthrnfur 3 года назад

I just unplugged this and my Ford Pass app will start my Ranger no issue. I got no errors so far. I love this fix.

@rydfree 2 года назад

This wire provides the signal for the Battery Management system so un-hooking it does affect other things . It will force the battery to charge at 100% all the time even if it doesn't need to . There's always consequences .

@bradbarefoot2986 Год назад

One other question, my neighbor has a '22 Buick Encore GX ... it doesn't have the quick connect, but an extra ground wire with a small bolt on the negative cable ... will that by chance do like your Ranger did?

@Nightwarden33 2 года назад

I HATE hate hate that feature. Thank you so much

@HowToHeaven 2 года назад

You are so so so welcome! Thanks for watching my videos.

@rockymntdan1 2 года назад

Pretty sure that symbol is default "on". Press that button again and it will go off like mine did. I haven't driven it yet, but disconnecting that connector tonight didn't change the way the symbol or button behaved. Before I discond the symbol was "on" until the button was pushed, remained the same even after disconnecting. We'll see....

@geeman509 Год назад

There is another guy on utube that has his son disconnect a wire that is on the driver side in the cab on the left side where there is a block with a bunch of leads and I have a 2019 xlt that I did this a few years ago. Not sure if its the same wire that goes to the switch inside the cab. I wish I had the link to where he tells his son to pull the wire and no more start stop. I heard that if you have one of those fancy Lariats or higher model there might be some issue but thy were either taking that module off completely off the battery or just doing what this guy did. But I dont tow so I dont know if that would effect that option on my xlt. But so far eveything works like it should and its been a few years since I pulled that wire out. The block of wires is on the driver side and I wish that I could remember the color anyway its night ti,e and its cold so im not going outside to look sorry. but see if you can google or search on utube for the guy that had his son pull the wire remember its for Ford F150s...

@HowToHeaven 6 месяцев назад

Mine was a Lariat, I didn't notice anything otherwise, I would have put that information in the video. All I know is that I did it on video and it worked, others who comment say some other effects are possible, however I haven't seen any videos. Sometimes I get trolls, I take them with a grain of salt or less!

@aceedmond8053 2 года назад

Thank you! its fine if Ford wanted to install this but they should have the option to either always have it on or always off... I hate that I have to turn it off every time I start my truck.... thanks!!!

@HowToHeaven 2 года назад

Exactly! Thank you for watching HowToHeaven!
