Yet Another Stop/Start Thread

[The Long Ranger]

The phone worked fine this morning. What would be even better would be to connect a wireless charger and forget it. The fish acted scared in the aquarium.

Just make sure the Piranhas don't get out and end up in you lap!

I just trim mine off when I start the truck.

I try to but sometimes my memory is kinda like your spelling!

If my Ranger wasn't a Lease I'd probably go that route! But, until the lease is up and I decide if I'm keeping it I'll use the $3.00 LED nightlite!

OK, I'm new but I'm guessing the current draw (on the USB?) is supposed to prevent the AutoStop? Just trying to catch up here.

I just use the button Ford installed in the truck to turn it off. Works great.

Yeah, works every time you press it. Which is required ever time you start the Ranger. Put an LED Nitelite in 3 months ago and haven't pressed the button since!

Interestingly the night light, Max AC, Sport Mode, and other things that are supposed to cancel the ASS never worked on my truck. Not once! Autostop Eliminator has been one heck of a mod! Just my 2 cents!

My wife has respiratory issues and uses a nebulizer (like a humidifier on steroids) at home and in the office. I suggested that she try treatments while I drive her to work. She saves time and feels better when she arrives at work, and, more to the point of this thread, leaving the thing plugged in kills the auto start/stop function, which makes me feel a lot better as well....

Will the battery save mode protect you guys who are defeating the system from having a dead battery if you park for an extended period of time?

One thing I refuse to do is advertise the backseat area, with a welcome light, for criminals looking to steal my stuff.
Darker than dark back there is my preferred method.

Are you referring to having a LED night light plugged into the 110 outlet?

The power shuts off after a couple minutes.

I didnt know if everything got shut off. Especially the 110v.
Kinda pointless to leave a cooler of meat n beers in there overnight then huh?
The raccoons are assholes while camping.

If it's Rolling Rock I think you'll be safe. lol

If you do a night light and don't want the light shinning in the back seat just black it out with a Sharpie or a quick shot of black spray paint.

110 is only functional when engine is running.

That's what I was thinking. I have another vehicle with a 110 outlet and it only operates when the engine is running.
