But they did hit C) with 100% accuuracy

Some say that the search function still works to this day.
Even though this is an old post, since it came up in recents I will chime in. The Auto Start/Stop can be disabled in all Bronco models with the following procedure:
-Drain oil from vehicle
-Replace oil with Pepsi/Salt mixture (70/30)
-Run engine at 3k RPM for at least 10 minutes
-Engine should default to "stop"
To re-enable, follow shop procedure for engine replacement.

Old static thread... Add the Auto Start Stop Eliminator
Just wanted to post if any Newbies like me on forum this last year.

For those pondering should / shouldn't install the Autostop Eliminator due to dash work involved.
It's a super quick task, no concerns breaking plastic pins. It disassembled very easy with a few screws; installing the short ASS Harness behind Switch was zero challenge.

I'd estimate 40 minutes and that was me taking my time examining the space for other projects.
So much better than adding an ODB2 Connector style interface, consuming the ODB port (not that one is even available for the Bronco as GM Products). I personally will be installing 2 iBank Pro's in a Dual AeroForce Pod mount consuming the ODB2.

Such a pleasant change... maintains the last position of ASS Switch (Off/On), and no reaction to it stopping at Intersections. For those pondering, it's well worth the $$ to eliminate the issue.
