DISABLE Auto Start/Stop
We have an all electric A/C system in our Toyota Prius and it's great. Sit with no engine running for quite a while with cold A/C blowing. HOWEVER, that A/C runs off the 240v battery..... you'd need a much higher source of power than a 12v battery.
which is why these mild hybrid systems being used in the Ram/Wrangler and other vehicles is a 48v system. Enough power to give a bit of initial acceleration boost but also capable of running things like an electric ac compressor down the road.
I ran across a YouTube video that mentioned you could unplug a connector under the dash on the left side of the brake pedal. There is a white module left of the brake pedal with 3 connectors. Unplug the bottom plug which is the smallest of the three. I haven't had an issue yet . I'm not sure what other functions this may affect.

HAs anybody else noticed that the start/stop feature gets enabled when you fully press the brake? But, if you lightly apply brake pressure, just enough to hold the vehicle from moving, the feature is never activated. So, don't push the brake pedal to the floor when stopped and it won't engage!

i have read that this method deactivates trailer brake controls if your truck is equipped with them.

You might do some research before you engage in playground name calling. Now wipe your tears and please don't tell the teacher after recess.
