Dave, did you find a cure for your Ranger's fear of the dark? I think mine is neurotic also.
I use one similar to that too. Just make sure you don't use one with the sensor or it won't work at night.well this is what I use.
I've read where some said that the light bothered them so just black it out with some spray paint.
I keep forgetting to get one. I havent driven the ranger in about a week until today, and once it stopped i almost lost my mind yet again.well this is what I use.
Tod...
that's when I decided I hated it -- It would shut off then restart in the two seconds it took to stop and shift from D to P when I parked. Yes I know there are cheaper / free ways to get rid of it but less than 90 bucks to never have to worry about it again is totally worth it to me but to each their own!
that's what I paid --- there's a really good deal going on right now (its April 2020) and SO worth it! Its a worthwhile mod to me, I installed it, hit the button and haven't touched it since, Ive actually forgotten my new ride has that stupid 'feature' - worth the $$ to me for sure.
I just figured that out. Had the a/c on, and wife pushing all buttons on the climate control trying to get it to cool down. All of a sudden it dawned on me to turn off the auto stop/start. Bingo.I think what i will like about it being up here in saskatchewan, the weather changes so much in spring and fall that one day it will be too cold for the auto stop/start to work and the next day its shutting the engine off each time you stop. If its not warm enough or the heater is on or the a/c etc. This way its off all the time. And you are right, the only cost to me is letting them k now how its working
if you go to the fuel economy tab and scroll down to the stop start tab it will tell you stop start disabled due to active cooling or what ever if you're wondering why it chooses not to enable it but Im happy just having it off for good - that is the one thing I really hated about this truck (or any new car) its a stupid feature that cannot possibly save any gas because nobody uses it. --- that might be a fun thread to start, a poll "do you use or disable start stop"
Looking into dealer parts pages it looks like all replacement batteries across XL, XLT and the Lariat are now the larger 800 CCA battery.
