Best video without all the added fluff & unrelated nonsense that some other videos include.

Mine broke by itself. My Jeep knew I didn’t like it so it did me a solid 👍🏻

[oxblade]

Makes sense. Jeep made it annoying enough to want to get rid of but easy enough for people to get rid of it. Smart way to get the EPA ratings and give the power back to the end customers.

HERE IS YOUR BIG THUMBS UP! Thank you! Took my Jeep to my dealership, and they said there was nothing you could do about it...well I'm taking it back up there to let the lazy guy know that YES, IT CAN BE DONE!

2020 JL Jeep® just did it and it was successful! I actually like the A! code on the speedo readout...reminds me that nothing forced on buyers is forever... 

One more trick I did - untethered the aux battery from the main battery and removed fuse 42. Why? The aux battery that helps with ESS is prone to fail after 3 years and it will gladly take your main battery down with it leaving you stranded. Oh, and that aux battery is a pain to replace and expensive as well. So pull the neg [-] cable from the aux battery off the main battery terminal and tape it back [you can leave the aux battery in place] and remove the fuse to stop the computer from looking for it. One and Done.

The dealer didn't tell me about this "feature" and the first few times I stopped at a red light on my home I didn't know what the hell was going on. Thanks!

[MULIESEVER]

This is the top reason I have not wanted a JL. Honestly knowing that you can pull that garbage out is making me rethink my decision. Thanks so much!

[beardedyaker]

I have so much crap going on today and this was been such a headache for the past two hours. I found your video and I fix my problem. I cannot thank you enough. Saved me a lot of money man you’re doing good out there.

[jeffdurall]

Bought my first Jeep yesterday and did this very thing after watching your video. Good job, my man. Keep up the good work.

We unplugged it and put the plunger back in so we don’t lose it. We also used Superchips programmer for our speedometer calibration for our 35’s and we were able to disable the seatbelt chime and the auto stop light on the dash. We still needed to unplug the plunger and the programmer tells you to do that too

Have to say that I have a 2018 JL that I just gave the dealer $361 to install a new Battery etc. After that I realized that this would be a reoccurring problem once the "Useless smaller battery" killed everything again. So this morning I went out and followed your suggestion. Thanks bunches and If I keep the JL I may just redesign the whole systems again. They said it was against company rules for them to do anything. p.s. Have a bunch of jeepers from NY to Cal that I call friends so this is going on my personal page with my bear pictures.

Love it great job help me a lot. I hate that start and stop.

[pricefutrell]

Thank you !! Had a warning light come on and it started messing with the starter. Watched the video and solved the problem until I can get it in the shop. You da man !!

[gunnergunner]

So glad I can cross this video. I still can figure out why they put this in any vehicle. It can’t be good on your battery, starter, flywheel, etc. it’s the only thing I dislike on my Jeep. It’s going bye bye tomorrow when I change the oil, oil filter and both air filters. Again thanks.

I got use to turn AutoStart Off automatically in my Mercedes, after a week of doing it..it is automatically set in your brain, when you turn on the engine, press the AutoStartStop button. I don't like engine lights on in my dashboard. But hey, everyone can do it the way they want. 😊

[karverbrown]

I can see starters and flywheels wearing out really fast starting all the time

Works on a 2021 wrangler sport. Thank you!!

🛑 Downside is you get a warning light on the right ⚠️ for the feature THEN you get another warning light on the left that says your hood is open . If he would have closed his driver door it shows up 👎, I don’t like that it would bug the hell out of me . For $99 you can get a plug and play module that removes this feature from the vehicle

THANK-YOU SO MUCH YOUNG FELLA, ....YOU THE MAN !!

In the manual for my wife’s 2015 Cherokee, I am fairly certain it says the stop/start feature is for emissions; no mention of saving fuel. The dealer agent said that it was for mileage.
