Does anyone know of a permanent solution to disabling the auto start/stop feature?

Also, does anyone else notice that when the motor shuts off as a result of that, the power steering doesn't work. My brother just picked up 2017 raptor last night and he said he hates how when the motor shuts off at a light or whatever, the power steering also doesn't work until it cranks back up. Seems unsafe, no?

 

You are correct the power steering does shut off. Along with the A/C.

 

Google it - there's a way to jumper the switch if you want it permanently disabled... You can also leave the Defroster ON - that seems to inhibit mine...

It needs service, it should start up if he turns or try to turn the wheel..my 150 does
