Maybe because you miss typed Disable? ?

There are several methods:

1-Forscan
2-plug in night light in 120 outlet
3-disconnect one of the negative terminal...you'll have to search
4-drive only in S mode
5-expensive OBD module to what can be done free or cheap

The search function here leaves a lot to be desired. I've found it easier to do a Google search using "ranger5g.com" and then the search term I'm looking for. Anyway if you are talking about the fake engine noise thing here are some threads I found:

https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/audio-system-enhanced-engine-sound-and-your-subwoofer.5694/

https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/disable-fake-engine-noise.2885/

A quick view of those threads seems to show there is a solution but I was too lazy to read all of the posts to see what it is. Sorry. :)

And then here is the Forscan wiki thread others referenced above:

I've listened for it but I can't hear it. Then again I have tinnitus and don't hear many things including my wife, which pisses her off to no end.
I have an STX with the base radio, is the engine sound maybe only with the upgraded radio?

I hear it when I'm hard on the throttle but it doesn't bother me.
