Quick fix to shut off start/stop button

[lawdog]

Why does it need to be plugged back in for tow. Isn't the auto start/stop supposed to stay off when towing?

Affects the trailer lights.

This fix is the cheapest/simplest fix, period. Or, just keep it in Sport mode all the time.

Isn’t this dangerous? Can you post a picture on where to connect the wire? I really want to get rid if the annoying stop/start...

Go on you tube and look up how to disable start/stop function on Raptor.

I used forscan

You get a lot for the $25 cost of the obd ii module

Turn off the insulting 'fake engine noise' , double honk , folding mirrors, low beam remains on when flicking high beam
to name a few.

I’ll second this!

I do this. Every time I drive.

Easiest and fastest way. I can't stand dealing with hitting button every time.

Have used this method (unplugging that wire) on my last 4 Raptors. Easy peasy--and free.

That whole start stop all of the time I'm convinced is not good for engine. No proof--just a gut feeling.

Mechanically turning on and off would only shorten it's useful life

No argument there.

Definitely hard on the starter.
