I disabled auto start stop in my 19 F-150 at the BCM & IPC . Same procedure disabled auto start stop in my wife's 19 Edge.

There is also another way to do it. Under the driver side dish there are a set of plugs running top to bottom the one on the bottom the black plug all you have to do is unplug that and it’s done but make sure you plug it back in again if you’re going to pull a trailer.

I found the blackl and purple wire but i dont have a solid white wire but there is a brown with white stripe next to the black and purple is the right one? For now im doing the tooth lick method lol

Under the dash on the left a set of three plugs bottom black set just unplug it. It is for trailer lights so if your towing you will need to plug it back in. No tearing apart your dash .

I went with the Forscan method on my 2018 F150 to disable start/stop. There are several YouTube videos on how to download and use the program. Once set up in your computer, you can easily change many settings in the modules in your truck.

I don’t do much stop and go. But I still wished to disconnect stop/start. My truck constantly turning the radio off to save battery however, has been driving me nuts. Two birds, one stone. Thank you.

I did the last one my camera still works fine back up sensors do not work cost very little to do

[edwardli]

does the FORSCAN reprogram disable the auto start-stop while not disabling BCM (battery monitoring) or other functions?

[kenthayer]

Will installing the device behinds the dash void the warranty? I have a 2021 I would like to disable. What brand or model do you prefer or is the best?

[zackwildman]

the auto start needs to be where i can get in and its auto off and if i want to use it then push a button to activate it but in general the auto start and stop is a dangerous function if you stop at stop sing then have to go and you are slowed by 5 seconds well that may end bad

My 2011 f 150 doesn't have a button on the dashboard. There's no connector under the driver side dashboard. I'm wondering if I even have a Auto Start Stop or a BCM. I believe this to be a Bare bones fleet truck. Any ideas? The truck will shut down at stop signs etc.

If I do the jumper wire will my trailer lites still work?

[garywilkerson]

Aside from occupying the OBD port, are there any features disabled or adverse consequences to keeping a disabler plugged in to the OBD port?

[raymondferreri]

Can anyone prove what is going on circuit wise with the jumper wire in place. I suspect the button initiates a pulse signal but then returns to a high impedence state. The jumper wire on all the time never achieves that state. .. is it a problem or not?..prove it please

If you keep it in Sport Mode, Auto Stop/Start will remain disabled, too.

There is a pale purple wire and a black wire with a purple stripe. Which purple wire?

I recently purchased a 2018 f150 and have driven it a few hundred miles now. It never shuts off with the button pushed or without it pushed. I’m thinking it has been disabled The display always comes up on the trailer as if it’s connected to a trailer. I checked the trailer wiring port in the rear bumper but there’s nothing in it.

I have a 2017 f150 and the auto start and stop doesn’t work anymore.Thats a plus.

Ford needs to stop adding crap to their trucks.
