So I have not seen this posted before, please forgive me if it has, but is the Auto Start/Stop included in the 2.3 and 2.7 engine setups on the full size Bronco? I noticed on the Bronco Sports it was on the window sticker I looked at.

Just plug something like an LED nightlight into the 110v outlet. It will kill the A/S/S and only cost you about $4.00. Been doing this for over a year now with my Ranger.

Ha that’s a great idea. I have some friends that went in with Forscan and turned it off. I have also heard of plugging in a trailer test kit., the nite light is new to me.

Someone also mentioned that the trailer plug idea could make the computer think it's constantly towing something and could change service interval lights or powertrain characteristics, which both make sense as cars these days are advanced in other similar ways.

Thanks for the tip! How does this work?
Like @Stitches1974 said any draw will deactivate the system. The LED light will stay on for about 20 minutes after you shut the vehicle off as the 110 outlet is live but then shuts itself down.

There is an eliminator kit that you can plug into the ODB port and disable it too but that's around $100. There's also ForScan and my Livernois tune will also disable it but you have to tell them when ordering the tune.
