Disabled auto start / stop with eliminator kit (4DTECH) and it works

[Ranger #1]

Do you know what a capacitor is? Understand anything about electrical engineering?
The starter doesn’t put any strain at all on any computer…

Hello ,exactly right friend!! It only puts strain on the starter and battery ,I don't like the start stop feature!! thanks !@

the start/stop routine major issue is not on starter, battery or electronic; they surely wear out faster, but the big deal is on the engine. one of the reason why the ASS is disabled by the car until the engine reaches a certain temp.
the ASS is an issue for reliability overall, but a lot of mitigation has been put in. ASS battery is different than standard GEL, starter is different, engine cams are different etc etc...all to avoid the reliability issues that ASS was exhibiting when firstly deployed. Yet, I do not like the feature too mainly because it's annoying how it interacts with driving. sometimes it has the right delay to avoid multiple start/stop in a very short period of time, but sometimes it does not (like when parking etc). if it was tuned properly I would not mind and in normal city driving it does help pollution (somehow...but in the long run it does not as DPF saturates quicker), but in the way it is implemented on ranger it sucks. my partner's audi has the same feature, but it works flawlessly (and you can disable permanently)

After installing the 4DTECH $100 auto start/stop eliminator kit on my 24 Lariat Ranger, it works! It just remembers the last status of button press. Say, you turn it off via auto start/stop button, it will remain off on next engine start. It is easy to install by removing passenger storage bin and add bypass kit on right side.

It is difficult to unplug from computer box due to hard to reach with small space. Took me 5 mins to unplug, then after that, it is easy to add.

There is a plug and play clip on Ebay Auto for the Ranger for $99 I think. Put one in 2 mos after buying my truck as the start stop drove me crazy. Best $100 I ever sle t, it just reverses the button so if you want start stop it turns it on instead of off!

Drop glove box, unplug a connection and plug it in. Helps to have smaller hands.
