How To Permanently Disable The Stop/Start Feature On a Jeep Grand Cherokee (2021 Tutorial)

If you're like me you're tired of the annoying Start/Stop or Stop/Start auto shut off at red lights feature on the Jeep Grand Cherokee and similar vehicles. There's actually a super simple fix to permanently disable the stop/start feature on these vehicles and that's what I teach you how to do in this video. It's a super simple tutorial where you basically pop open the battery cover and unplug one sensor and you're good to go. Please note that you will receive a dash notification as well as a dash light while the sensor is unplugged!

The new camera is also in... finally! Hopefully the quality is much better on the new a6400 vs my previous Canon T5i setup. I'm still playing with it and getting used to it so give me some time to learn.

Start/stop has to be one of the dumbest systems ever implemented into newer vehicles

[RichardsWorld]

I think the biggest thing I learned is the front seat can fold down like that 😀

4:30 until we get to the point of the video...

[JCunningham]

the main reason to get rid of it is the extreme wear it does to the engine bearings. It also doesn't save you any fuel as it takes more fuel to restart it then to just let it idle for a min. If you live in the city were your sitting at multiple lights for several min at a time. it might save you a few dollars over the short life of vehicle. thats the battery temp sensor. if the battery is too warm or too cold the auto engine destruct wont work.

Someone REALLY enjoys hearing themselves talk…

THAT CRAP needs to be OUTLAWED.. and makers tell the govt. to get F..d cause the REFUSE to put that in any of their vehicles.

[Primetimenewsome]

Thanks for the pointers. But, like my wife, you talk too much.

[floridamike]

I've got such a muscle memory now and a habit to hit the button and don't even know it. That amber fault light would drive me nuts!!

[HGAviator]

Blah blah blah... Dude seriously? Just get to the point. This video could have been edited down to a minute.

[andrewkerch]

OMG You are my hero. I just disabled this.

[llioness]

Just hit the A button and it will stop the auto on and off. Don’t need this long never get to the point. But good for making money for sure

[somallama]

I personally hate having the dash light on. I will be keeping my Stop/Start feature because of that. I'll just have to make a mental note to turn it off every time I go for a drive. Nice video BJP!

[scorpione]

I just test-drove the Grand Cherokee last week and the dealer has got the vehicle on hold for me. If I end up purchasing it, this might be the first thing I would do although I hate having this warning light on. Thanks for the tip!

[georgegarton]

I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, battery is under hood unless I missed something. Wire pattern the same for disconnect?

[Reverend-Race-Horsey]

Wow, you look like 17 or 16! Cute babyfaced boy! 😊

[billreese]

I would rather endure the auto stop than go thru this dudes monologue - geez! Get to the point.

[MrBowmanmt]

Yeah if you want that channel to grow you got to get rid of the idle chit chat

[mingo]

This feature also wears the starter and the cost of replacing is very high.

[krest]

Yes this feature is super annoying! But it really all depends on how much pressure you apply on the brake. If you want to avoid having the car engine stopping at every red light just try not to apply full pressure on the brake. The further and more pressure you apply the car will shut off, the less pressure left at a stop the car will remain on.
