Disable Auto Start/Stop on 2025 Explorer ST

[Dale5403]

A word of warning for the 4D Tech adapter, I bought one of these in September. I installed it and used it for about 3 months with no problem. I started seeing issues with the touch screen not working, remote lock/unlock not working, and the tailgate not able to go up / down. I removed the adapter and all of the issues went away.

Did you contact the company for support? There have been almost no complaints about them.

I had a 4D tech on my 25' and it lasted 3-weeks before it failed. By the time it failed, Autostop Eliminator finally came out with theirs. I bought the Autostop Eliminator and all has been well since then except for certain over the air updates messing with it to where you need to unhook the negative cable for a few minutes to reset it.

Yeah, 4D Tech seems to be giving me the run around on support. I won't make the mistake of buying from them again.

I can vouch that I have used AE on four different vehicles, and they have been great.

On my 2026 ST, there is no PSCM listed in the modules list so I could not try that method that has been successful for other Fords. The only modules that have any sort of setting is BdyCM and APIM. The BdyCM toggle for Auto Start-Stop does indeed work but unfortunately, the battery light is illuminated on the cluster. There are no DTCs triggered though and it doesn't seem like any other aspect of the charging is affected. I'm keeping it for now until a better solution can be found.

I've been using this one without any issues for almost a year on my 25
Plug and play, and it allows you to still activate A-S-S if you want to. It remembers the last setting and leaves it there.
