Auto stop easy disable
I have a 2017 F 150 and constantly having to hit the button to turn off the auto stop.................. well lets say it pxxxxx me off, after spending nearly 45K for a truck. I just installed a LED strip light just below the tailgate, the kind that gives you, running, brake, turn signal and reverse light, I hard wired that to the wires behind the bumper for the 7 pin trailer connector. Presto................. the truck thinks there's a trailer attached all the time and will not turn off.
This is not that hard of a fix, or expensive, cost me about $20.00 and took 2 hours, since I had to remove the tailgate, and I chose to hard connect the wiring, ( I soldered the LED light wires to the trailer wires and sealed, rather then use a clamp on connector) which left the standard plugs available for a trailer.
This is a great fix, and also gives you more lights in the rear that stand out when braking.
Any questions just hit me up
