If anyone would like to easily disable the ASS, just unplug the Battery Management Sensor Plug on the negative cable of the battery. This was discovered by one of our forum members, BoostCruising.
It works like a charm and also disables the BMS, the benefits of which I won't go into here. If you want it to work again, simply plug it back in.

My BMW 228Xi had the same kind of auto shutoff system but when you turned it off it stayed off until you turned it back on. Also all windows were auto up. Love German engineering (sometimes).

Can you provide a picture of where the plug is located and why it looks like? Thanks!

My wife wanted the Lariat, I wanted the XL. She won.
My wife said she didn't care what trim level I got, but the truck HAD to be Lightning Blue. My truck is Lightning Blue, lol.

I know when I'm at a light and truck turns off, if I let up on brake just a bit, it restarts. Truck still holds tight. Could this be as simple as a switch adjust/unplug? I also noticed if I stop, let up on brake and rebrake, then it never turns off. Now I don't want to double brake every time, but it leads to a possible answer maybe...

Similar for me. My wife had two non-negotiable points: (1) no lightning blue or white, (2) had to have the magnetic rims.
The lightning blue is a polarizing color. You either love it or hate it, there doesn't seem to be much of an in between. My wife really likes colors that pop. She drives an orange Santa Fe. We have a very colorful garage, lol.

I plugged my regular cell phone charger with a 6ft cord into the outlet in the rear of the console. No battery drain when the key is out of the ignition. When I plug in my iPhone into the charging cord and crank the truck, the phone draws power from the outlet disabling my auto stop/ start. This negates my concern about the night light draining my system if I'm parked for an extended period of time. I may have $5 tied up disabling my system.

Yep. My first choice would have been Lightning Blue. I think that color looks awesome on the Ranger. My wife, however, forbade me to get that color so I ended up with Shadow Black. Not a bad outcome, but I really would have liked to have the blue...
