Explorer (2025–2027) Start / Stop Eliminator

Your preferred setting, every drive

The 4D Tech Start / Stop Eliminator remembers your Auto Start / Stop setting and restores it when you start your Explorer. Choose OFF to keep the engine running at stops, or choose ON to use the factory system. Your factory button continues to work normally, and remote start is retained.

Fits 2025–2027 Ford Explorer, all trim levels, with or without the factory wireless charger. For a 2020–2024 Explorer, use our separate 2020–2024 listing.

Installation in the passenger footwell

The device connects inline at the gateway module below the glovebox, near the upper edge of the passenger-footwell carpet. No tools are required for the procedure shown in our video.

Watch the complete installation video before beginning.

1. Expose the connection. Locate the metal gateway module peeking above the carpet and carefully pull the carpet down, as shown in the video.
2. Move the protective bracket. Move the metal connector guard down only as shown to reach the connector. Take care around its sharp edges.
3. Release the factory connector. The release tab is on the back of the connector, in the middle. Push the connector inward first, firmly press and hold the release tab, then pull the connector out gently. Do not pull on the wires.
4. Connect the device inline. Plug the factory connector into the Start / Stop Eliminator, then connect the other end to the gateway module. Seat the connections firmly until they click.
5. Secure and finish. Return the protective bracket to position. Tuck the device and wiring out of the way, using the included zip tie as shown, and put the carpet back in place. Start the vehicle and use the factory button to select your preferred setting.

A paper quick-start guide is included.
