Thanks so much! I guess the EPA is all over Ford for even allowing us the option to turn off the A/S/S as Ford got their fuel efficiency numbers with it, and by allowing us to turn it off we alter those numbers.When I first purchased the truck I tried to live with it to see if I could get used to it and I just can't - its distracting and annoying as hell. I kept forgetting to push that button --- this 'feature' needs to go away!!!!!!
------there are a lot of threads on this with a lot of ideas
what I did is instal this: less than 90 bucks and worth every penny to me! Hate stop start.......
https://www.autostopeliminator.com/...products/2019-ford-ranger-autostop-eliminator
if the link doesn't work, just search autostop eliminator it is a simple wire harness that goes between the switch and the wire harness at the plug there is no cutting or splicing at all it uses ford factory connecters on both ends (the page says that is most of the cost) so it is removable and causes no damage or changes to the truck- the page says no changes to software etc..... its genius!
when you go to the page, watch the video --- it really is that easy to instal and works just like it shows..... I haven't even thought about hitting that stupid button since the day I installed it and that's the way I like it. .
I know there are a lot of other ways to do it (search it you can read for awhile, I know I did.....) but this makes the truck act like a normal car...... when you get in start it the message 'start stop disabled by switch' shows on the display every time and I drive normal --- this thing just remembers whatever position you put the switch in.....
good luck!
So for 2021 I have heard numerous times there will no longer even be an option/button for the driver to be able to shut it off.
