Amen! I second that! Thank God that scumbag is out! What an idiotic feature for anyone who buys and plans on keeping any vehicle!

Angry Jumper only works for 15 mins

I don’t care for the auto stop switch and have been driving around for 10 days with my dash torn apart. I have tried at least 6 different jumpers. They work great for maybe 15 mins and then the light goes off and it resumes the auto shut off. So frustrating. 2018 f150 eco boost

I stopped this nonsense with Forscan. What a relief.

Read up. It's an extremely useful and powerful utility for our trucks. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/forsc...-truck-348987/

But honestly, it is very easy to manage and like another poster stated, it's great for work traffic when I'm stopped for 2+ minutes at each stop. I'm glad I have it on my 2.7EB
Um... You had me going until you said 2.7EB...

Default Disable auto start stop

Get a ford memorizer...just put one in my 2018 king ranch...works perfect with no jumpers or programming....just plug it in behind your obd plug and bingo... It remembers your drive mode and the status of the auto start button. (Stays off) you can also still turn it back on if desired.
It's $285 but if you just spent that much on a new truck it's worth the extra to get it right....don't cheap out at this point!
