Product details

Your preferred setting, every drive

The 4D Tech Start / Stop Eliminator remembers your Auto Start / Stop setting and restores it when you start your Ranger. 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.

Check your fitment

Fits the Ford Ranger model years shown in the Fits section above, including Ranger Raptor. This listing covers 2024–2026 vehicles.

Installation behind the glovebox

No tools are required. Lower the glovebox door and connect the device inline with the gateway module, as shown in the vehicle-specific installation video and diagrams below. A paper quick-start guide is included.

Your device may look different from the video. The current product revision uses a 90-degree connector, oriented the same way as the factory connector removed from the module.

  1. Access the gateway module. Lower the glovebox door as shown in the installation video and first diagram below.
  2. Release the factory connector. Push the connector inward first, firmly press and hold the release tab, then try pulling the connector out. Watch the connector-release step in the video before beginning.
  3. Connect the device inline. Insert the Start / Stop Eliminator between the factory harness and the gateway module connection shown in the second diagram.
  4. Finish the installation. Follow the video to position the device and wiring and return the glovebox to its normal position.

If you cannot release the connector, contact our support team for help.

    Auto Stop Start Eliminator for 2025 Ford Ranger

    Posted by Michael Gibbons on Jul 25th 2026

    Works flawlessly. A little difficult to install due to my large hands but I was successful. I used a gallon paint can opener to press the tab on the backside.

    RANGER (24-26') START / STOP ELIMINATOR

    Posted by T. Allen on Jul 20th 2026

    Fast Shipping, though email notifications were off. It actually arrived a day earlier than expected. Took me less than 5 minutes to install and has been working without issues since. I would recommend the 4dtech eliminator to anyone who has a vehicle with Auto Start/Stop. I don't foresee a future issue with this product, but if I do, I'll buy a replacement without hesitation.

    Ranger (24-26') Start / Stop Eliminator

    Posted by Russ Albright on Jun 26th 2026

    I installed the Start / Stop Eliminator in my 2026 Ford Ranger and am loving it so far! This is the first vehicle I have owned that has the auto start/stop feature and found it highly annoying. I saw several YouTube reviews of the $d version and decided to give it a try. As an added bonus, it turns out that the company is local to me! I highly recommend the 4D start/stop eliminator to anyone who hates having to remember to press the button in the vehicle every time in order to disable it.
