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.

    Start/stop eliminator

    Posted by John Zenone on Oct 3rd 2025

    Very good product, only problem was unplugging the connector from the box on my raptor. That was more my big hands than the eliminator. It is working great at this time.

    So easy and so effective

    Posted by Jason on Sep 7th 2025

    This is so easy to install if you watch the video. Literally took me two minutes. The two handed removal method while holding the tab with one hand makes this so easy, the hardest part is lining the new harness back up to click into the module and even that is easy. This worked upon first startup(AutoStart/Stop was disabled) and it will remain that way until I sell the truck. 5 cents in gas savings is not worth that wear and tear on your engine with unnecessary startups at full throttle.

    One of the best upgrades for the Ranger Raptor

    Posted by Rojah on Sep 2nd 2025

    This is something that Ford should have thought of by making the start/stop feature optional and allowing it to be disabled. 4D tech came up with the perfect solution making the feature now optional. The installation was very simple, no tools needed took about 10-15 minutes to install. Product is well made and could be removed at anything if you wanted too. This is a great product and I would highly recommend it.

    Ranger Start/Stop Eliminator

    Posted by Mike P on Aug 26th 2025

    It works great and in about 15 minutes it was installed and working perfectly. Now I don’t have to worry about pushing the Start/Stop button every time I go somewhere. Wonderful product thank you 4-D.
