Easy Auto Start / Stop eliminator

[tgRanger]

I must be one of those boring old guys who prefers a regular dome light look. I cant take credit for this one because I've seen it in another thread posted by another member.. I was skeptical, but I tried it and it works. For $3.96 it solved the problem and I’m also saving energy costs by replacing the incandescent night light in our bathroom with the spare LED.

And if you have the base model, none of this applies.

I just unplugged mine from the battery terminal.

Did this over a year ago with no issues. It just makes your charging system treat it like a regular system--always charged vs "allowing it to charge" when it drops below a certain voltage.

Biggest and cheapest hack for the ford Ranger

the homer simpson finger. I just get in and push the button.

Just get Forscan and disable ASS. Cost you a ODB2 adapter snd you can do so many other fun things too.

You had a chance to get a USA flag night light… missed opportunity

Anything that draws power from the 110V will shut the a/s/s down. Driving in S mode or running the ac will also disable it. A cheap LED nightlight is the easiest way and the power shuts down after 15-20 minutes once you shut the truck off.

Running the AC won't disable it unless the cabin temp is high.... so, in other words, in AZ. My AC will disable it when I first get in, but once the cabin cools off the ASS comes back on.

Good to know. I bought mine in July and never had to worry about the a/s/s until October. One day I was at a light and the engine cut off and I was like . I totally forgot about the a/s/s because the a/c was blasting since I bought it. Bought the LED nightlight and don't even think about it anymore.

For at least 6 months I had the ASS system disconnected at the battery. Everything worked fine and battery was always at full charge and S/S was eliminated.

Got Forscan setup and went to town. Turned off S/S in software and reconnected the battery connection. The other change I made in Forscan is percentage of battery charge. Factory has it set to 75% of full charge. I changed that to 90% and haven’t had a problem since.

Got to say Forscan is the way to go! Allows you to change many other things that you really can’t so easily any other way.
