How to Permanently Disable Start/Stop in a Ford F-150 Pickup?

Model: Ford F-150 MK 13 - Years 2015-2020
Part: Checks and maintenance

This video shows how to permanently disable the Start/Stop system in a Ford F-150 pickup. This system automatically shuts off the engine during prolonged stops, such as at a traffic light, and restarts it when you press the accelerator. While this system helps reduce fuel consumption, it can be intrusive and stress the battery, shortening its lifespan. To disable Start/Stop, trick the vehicle by inserting the special device shown in the video, making it think a trailer is connected. In this condition, the system will remain permanently disabled.
