Yet Another Stop/Start Thread

[The Long Ranger]

I don't want this to turn into a circus and I'm not trying to rile anybody up. Simple question: Instead of an LED nightlight has anyone tried a 110v USB charger? I wonder if the low current draw will fool the stop/start whatchamacallit.

As long as there's something attached to it charging it'll work. A night light is the simplest thing as it won't draw much and it works but anything will do as long as it's drawing current.

I'll keep my phone on it .

That will work.

That will work.

I could also use it for my dash cam. Or MP3 player, the possibilities are endless! Flashlights, aquarium.... o.k. maybe not on the aquarium!

While you're at it might as well throw in the microwave and coffee maker.

I’ve tried a few things and so far the glade air freshener is the best solution for me
I don’t even keep it full because she still smells brand new and i don’t want the scent
Never had an issue
I burned through a few night lights but the glades are fail proof

The aquarium will definitely work.

I tried this, but couldn't find a good place to put the aquarium. There's not enough room on the floor in the back. I didn't want to put the aquarium directly on the seat, so I tried fold the seat up, but the pathetic under-seat area made this not work. I tried folding the seat back down, back the lack of fold-flat made this not work.

This is just absurd that the Ford engineers did not seem to even consider aquariums when designing this truck.

As long as you don't do it this way, it should be fine. haha

Just run a wire out the sliding window and put it in the bed! You could get a 1000 gallon aquarium in there!

I dont understand why people dont seem to think that they have a bed attached to their car??? Are Rangers stealing people from SUV sales?

Interestingly the night light, Max AC, Sport Mode, and other things that are supposed to cancel the ASS never worked on my truck. Not once! Autostop Eliminator has been one heck of a mod! Just my 2 cents!

I disabled "ASS" yesterday afternoon via FORScan, the entire process took maybe 15 minutes because it was the first time ever for me to use the program. Total investment was $30 for the adapter from Amazon.
This may not be the route for others to go, but it worked for me, sure beats getting soaked...

If my Ranger wasn't a Lease I'd probably go that route! But, until the lease is up and I decide if I'm keeping it I'll use the $3.00 LED nightlite!
