That monitors the battery , some have reported no issues ... I would not do it that way..
This video shows you how to disconnect it from the battery. AFAIK it doesn't affect anything else.
What you just did is completely disable your Battery Monitoring System (BMS) the truck no longer has the ability to check the state of charge of the battery and turn off things if it too low, like ASS. Kind of important with all the always on stuff our trucks have. It will also use the smart alternator to continually charge the battery to 100%, not a good thing with the AGM battery we have. Thus shortening the life of the rather expensive battery. So yes it does affect other things. Your choice.
I saw these on eBay but just wondering about the "on at dusk" sensor. Will it come on during the day or is it dark enough in the cabin to keep it on? If not where is the draw or will it only work at night? Looks like a cheap and easy remedy.Here’s my A.S.S. disabler
My understanding is that the outlet isn't always powered on. It's only on while the engine is running and then another 20 minutes or so after the truck is off. Someone please correct me if this isn't right.
I didn't do anything, I've been using a nightlight. That's why I said "As Far As I Know" and there are many on here that have disabled it like in the video.
How do I get and use Forscan?
There's a whole thread on it here.
I would think you'd have to black out the little sensor on it with some tape or paint. That way the light would think it's dark and always on and make the a.s.s. think there's a draw on it. You could also paint the lens black or use something to cover the light.
