Default auto stop

Plugged a trailer light checker in to see if it would cancel auto stop. No luck, had no effect.

It works. I tricked the computer to think I have a trailer hooked up.


1) Got a reese break light, Lighted Hitch Cover - Ford emblem.
2) Went to Wally world and got two turn signal and a trailer setup kit.
3) Wired the trailer set up kit with the turn signals. Hide the lights underneath the truck so they won't be visible.
4) Cut the wires for the left and right turn signals on the reese break light.
5) Plug the trailer connector with lights to the truck trailer terminal, then connect the reese break light and there. A fake trailer is hooked up.


The only draw back is the when u turn the truck on, it states trailer hooked up. Just need to back out of the menu. and done. The auto stop emblem still comes on but the engine does not shut off. Plus the back up sensors are deactivated. You still get the camera but no detection or the lines.


Total cost is about 50.00
