- This is a pretty simple thing to do in a half hour with no tools required, just some patience and maybe a helper with tiny hands if you have someone like that. I bought this from 4DTech.com... here is the link.

![Ford Ranger DISABLE Auto Start/Stop Feature - Turn ON and OFF permanently! [2024]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dJHbhsYE024/mqdefault.jpg)
You found a better one!!! The one in Thailand / Australia is wired to the actual button and installation is less clean. Great find! 🎉
Thanks for the info! I heard there is also one that makes the truck think the hood is always unlatched so it won’t enable auto start stop, that sounds terrible because then the truck will always be reminding you that the hood is unlatched, and then what if it really is unlatched and you disregard that and it comes flying up on the freeway haha.
The struggle is very real and you never edit it out lol… Trust me someone will thank you later for this…
Hahaha, that was my thought as well! I get so mad when I watch a video that makes something look like a 5 min project then it takes me 45 min!
Thanks for sharing. This is exactly what I need, ordered one from your link!
Awesome! You will not regret it. Probably the most useful thing I have done to my truck by far
@@flaberdoopin Just came today and I installed it in about 10 minutes in my front yard. Thanks to your video, I knew where to pull the plug and it made plugging in the new one easier, thanks for the informative video.
awesome! Glad you got it done quick easy! Enjoy the new ride without destroying your starter motor
That was quick, easy and simple
Yeah, not bad at all
Thank you for sharing. Now its just hurry up and wait. My Raptor was built yesterday, supposedly. But I was told it would be a few weeks before the dealer gets it.
Well I have my fingers crossed for a speedy build and delivery! Cheers
Great information! Picked up my 2024 Ranger Lariat FX4 a week ago and many of your tips apply to the Lariat. The hesitation when accelerating from a stop when the auto start/stop is actvated drives me crazy. Your install video will be super helpful when I do my install. Thank you.
Super happy to help! Does your Lariat have ventilated seats and rear air vents by chance?
@@flaberdoopin No vents in the back. The seats are supposed to be vented but hasn't been hot enough here in CO to feel how well it works. Got the black leather interior and any type of cooling should be helpful. Heated seats and steering works perfectly and coming on automatically when climate controls are set to auto is nice.
@@SeniorGrave that’s awesome… i love the auto feature of the seat and steering wheel as well, but wish there were physical buttons to turn them off so i dont have to look down at the screen while I’m driving to turn them off
Cool I want one heck yeah 👍
Right on! I am glad I did it for sure
Lucky Dog. LOL
Very nice. I ordered the same one on Wednesday, but mine has not shown up yet.
Thanks for the excellent how too video!
The bad thing was I had already bought a similar device from Australia, a month or so ago. But that one you have to tear the whole center console apart to install it,
So, when I saw this one on the Ranger Forum this week, it looked a lot more like how my Bronco S/S eliminator installed behind the glove box quick and easy. So I ordered it as well.
At the moment since I have not had a chance to fix my dead R button with your battery reboot trick, I am really wishing I had this eliminator installed.
You ran the same test I was curious about, excellent. very nice.
Right on. I figured I wasn’t the only person wondering about the different modes effects on the setting. This kit is super easy, better than the one I put in my Explorer. I am debating pulling the entire center console out of this truck to see if there is the making of rear vents somewhere in there that I can tap into to create some sort of work around.
You might try and look for a parts diagram of the Ranger Platinum model sold overseas, that platinum model Ranger has rear Ac vents. Ford designed the truck to accommodate that feature, just a matter of sorting all the parts needed to install on yours.
Yeah, for sure. I’m willing to put in the work to make it happen
@@jdfleetguy28 All Ranger models in Australia has rear air vents - not just the platinum model. It's just standard for Rangers over here. I guess not having rear air vents in any new car sold in Australia wouldn't go down too well
Hahaha, you are probably right on that one! I’m wondering if I get into the center console of mine if I will find some ducting that is capped off that I can tap into.
Dark Mode is the best
100%!
Thanks for showing the struggle! It took me several tries to get it unclipped! If you had made it look easy I may have given up! But it’s in and to be tested shortly!
haha, right on. i always get frustrated when someone says something should take 15 min and it takes me an hour so i always want to let people know how long it takes a normal dude to get these things done with minimal know how and basic tools. Glad you were able to get it installed.
On my 2020 Ranger XLT, I simply removed the small 2 wire molex connector from the negative terminal of the battery. No other side effects.
Have to wait for my 2024 Lariot to arrive to see if there are any similarities.No 24's around here to look at yet.
That’s interesting. I didn’t see anything like that as an option in my research for my truck and when I looked into it for my Explorer at I didn’t see any options like that either
Hopefully you have better luck than me, my raptor Cam phasers are toast at 1200 miles.
That is nuts! I haven’t heard of that issue yet but I’ll keep my ears open. Hopefully that isn’t normal. Didn’t know of that when I had this motor in my Explorer ST
This is also an issue on the F150 raptors, I didn’t know these new Ranger Raptors had the same issue.
thanks for sharing. unfortunately shipping for US and Canada only, leaves us in Europe stuck to disable it after each start.
Bummer. I’m surprised they won’t ship internationally but who am I to tell them what they should do.
Have you looked at remote start key fobs? You solved my number one pet peeve with this car (auto stop), the other one is not being able to start it remotely in Dubai’s hot summers!!
In the us it has remote start on the key fob. Click lock then double click the remote start button directly under the lock button. Not sure if that is global. I can also set a scheduled start or start anytime from the app but I think that runs through ford servers here in the Us and I don’t think that is everywhere yet
@@flaberdoopin 😭😭😭 Sadly not in our region. Ford Pass and for some inexplicable reason neither does the Keyfob although aftermarket in Australia do sell them.
That’s a bummer. But cool that AUS found a work around
Okay thanks, I just found it.
Right on
I'll set mine to dark mode now too. I don't think I'll get the auto start stop eliminator. I always push my R setting button when I drive which is set to shut it off.
Yeah, that was my plan initially as well… but I noticed I forgot to do it when I was just going to the store and it was bugging me haha. If you make that part of your start up process there is no need for the eliminator though! Cheers
Morning! You showed me how to set-up the prevention of auto start-stop using the R button config which works a treat! (Awesome). Are you using this just to apply the setting across all possible profiles?
Yes, and some times I forget to put it into R mode when going to the grocery store or taking the kids to school so I wanted it off all the time.
Great!
I have been looking for this for quite some time.
Have you tried it when you remote start it (with the app or the key fob)? Does it stay disabled?
The one sold in Australia can’t bypass the remote start so it goes back on automatically.
What about this one?
Thanks!!
Right on... i have tried it with the remote start and it keeps the setting. I have done it from the keyfob remote start and the app, both work, once you get in the truck while it's running and you press the start button to tell the truck you are there and ready to go with a key in your pocket, it disables the auto start stop just like if you came out and started it cold. I cant imagine why it would not work on the australian truck the same as it works on ours... this one stores the last setting and resets it upon startup to your last setting (from normal mode, even if you were to switch it to something else after the fact) when shut down
@@flaberdoopin
Fantastic!! Thank you!! The australian cable to disable the auto stop&start is wired differently without the chip. That’s probably why it doesn’t work when you remote start it. The one you found is much much better 👌
thanks for the info about the Aus version... that is good to know. Cheers
Will that effect any part of the warranty if an issue arises for some reason ? Nice video
Not at all... all it does is remember the setting and reset it each time it starts... no different than if you disable it from the button every time you started the vehicle.
Unhooked mine on my 2017 ford fusion it was on the battery only reason that they put that on vehicles is to were out the starter
Yeah, I didn’t like all the extra wear and tear on the battery or starter
What is the maker of said product or what was the website you were on. Looking to purchase one for myself. Great video!
It is made by 4dtech. Just put the vehicle info in on tue site and it is right there… I also have the direct link in the video description
I'm gonna keep mine bc if i trade in for a new car the new owner might need it if he can't go to the gas station everytime
Haha, seems reasonable
Hi bro, where can order this? Thank you!!! I am in New Zealand.
I ordered from 4dtech.com. Direct link is in the description. I’ll bet they will ship internationally and if they won’t let me know, I can order it then I’ll ship it as long as there are no international regulations that will not allow it.
I'm in Australia where can I purchase one ???? There site said they dont delivery to Australia is there another supplier??
I have heard from others that they wouldn’t deliver outside of US as well. I haven’t seen others yet but I’ll do a bit of research for sure
Will that void the warranty?
No, it specifically says that on the site and it is just an in line plug, all it does is reset the setting every time you start it, no programming any of the computers
I just leave my '24 XLT in sport mode.
Yeah, every time I restart the truck it goes back to normal and if I am just taking the kids to school or going to the grocery store I usually forget to switch modes so this is handy for me
@@flaberdoopin
When I get in mine, it asks me if I want to stay in sport mode.
that's awesome, i have had my truck do that one time after filling up at the gas station but that was it... i wonder if there is a setting to have it ask about previous mode that i somehow disabled. i'll have to look into that
@@flaberdoopin
I haven't noticed any settings that relate to it. But what I have noticed is, if i miss the message it'll disappear and then go to normal mode.
interesting... i have never seen it outside the one time restarting after putting gas in the truck... i'm gonna do some research and see if there is a setting for this because it would be nice to just press ok on the steering wheel and have it in sport mode right away
How do I stop all of the chiming?
that depends on what messages you are getting. if it is a seatbelt thing, just buckle all the belts, that is what i do when i have anything else on the seats. not sure what else would be chiming unless you have a door open or the hood unlatched
Door chime. I don’t care if the kids fall out
Haha, I’m not sure there is a setting to disable the door chime.
There's no setting to just turn it off!?
Each time you start it, but nothing permanent
@@flaberdoopin yeah I can see how that would be annoying.
@@losr98it’s not terrible but I just figured I would nip it in the bud early
@@losr98 Current fuel regs requires that it be reset after each engine on/off as the fuel comsumption figures would have been calculated with the start/stop system active - same with the annoying safety systems (lane keep ect..) This isn't a Ford thing, but a regulation thing for new cars...
@@stuartmunto4755 absolutely... i figured it was an EPA thing and not a ford thing
why pay for this when you can disable it with FORscan??
Same reason I paid for it when I could just push the button every time. When you flash info thru the OBD2 there is a higher risk of warranty garbage, you can flash it back but the dealer can see flash cycles so if they want to they could argue that it was something the owner did. That’s just my own rational, I know a lot of people work with FORscan with no issue but this part of we isn’t using it
@@flaberdoopinfair enough
