For what it is worth I ran that stop/start eliminator for 3 years with no issues. I did replace the batteries after 3 years. But didn’t have to mess with the stop start.

Installed a Tazer and have been pleased with the result. It not only remembers the last auto stop button setting but addresses annoying things like the seat belt ding, 3 honk alarm and auto fog light shut off when the hi beams are enabled.

That was a great explanation of how the start/stop works and what to do with it if you want/need to eliminate the feature. If I remember correctly the negative cable location for auxiliary battery is now the inner cable. I think it was changed in 2021 or 2022.
@MarzNet256Ай бұрын
The aux battery is in parallel with the main battery, so the system can't easily see it if it's disconnected. The theory is these act like one larger capacity battery to better tolerate the ridiculous start stop "feature". As you mentioned, the smaller battery can start to suck down on the larger one which is basically a parasitic drain. The whole thing is silly IMO.

Did the same delete to my 18 jl a few months ago and here’s what I’ve noticed. Definitely does not take away the stop start function as mentioned. I still press the button every time I get in the car but oh well. Recently I’ve been having some start up issues. About 60% of the time I’m fine. But I’ll get a single click with no start up. Give it a few minutes and it’s all the sudden fine again. Also, if I leave the automatic start stop on, I run the risk of getting stuck at a stoplight. Car will shut off, attempt to start up but kills the engine and I’m stuck for about 30 - 60 seconds, then fine again. Maybe old battery? Maybe starter components? Not quite sure.

Take the aux battery completely out. Take the positive cable off the aux and put it on main. Tape up the aux battery negative. Tazer mini to turn off the auto stop start. Done. No problems.

The auxiliary battery powers essential equipment like the engine start/stop system, and other systems that need power when the engine is off. This helps to reduce strain on the main battery and alternator. I don't know if the auxiliaries are then going to use the main battery or stop functioning?????

I have a 2018 JL Wrangler Unlimited that I purchased in 2017. I have had two cycles of replacing both batteries (I live in Arizona and the heat is death to all batteries) after the the second double battery replacement, I got the indication of the stop/start feature inop/off fault on every startup. The Jeep rep said at the time, that it would reset after a couple cycles, which it did not. Also, at this time, I did the aux battery disconnct that you described with the ground and fuse. After about a couple months, the Jeep would not start as the new main battery was discharged. I put a battery charger on it and reconnected the fuse and aux battery cable. Now I get a message on startup that says "Aux switches Temporarily Unavailable Battery Charging" every time I start up, which doesn't give me a good feeling about driving any where I might get stranded. I plan on taking it into the dealer and have it checked out since it appears their battery replacement may have shorted or burned something out. That's been my experience. If anyone has had a similar issue, please let me know if or how you fixed it? Thanks!

It's insane that GM does have a warning or error code for Aux Battery. My error code reader saw nothing. I was freaking out wondering if this problem is my Alternator, is it my starter, is it my primary battery, is it a mystery electrical issue? I finally tracked it down to the aux battery. Come on GM!

The main battery is still the old lead acid type. It can't handle the type of drain downs of the auto stop. Auto stop will shorten the life of a lead acid by about half. That's why the aux batter is Advanced Glass Mat type. They can handle the pull downs of auto stop. Now if you switch your main battery to AGM you shouldn't have any problems. Most new cars use AGM because of all the computer modules that still run after you turn off the engine for several minutes. So pull the fuse and pony up the big bucks for a full size AGM and you should be golden.
@thebigbail4 ай бұрын
AGM = absorbent glass mat. (Which is an advanced type of lead acid)

If you don't want the auto stop start feature, just put fuse 42 back in. The only issue is that you will have the warning light to service the auto stop start AKA " AVENGERS LIGHT". This is how i run my Jeep and never had any issues. I used to have fuse 42 out, but I kept forgetting to press the stupid button. - I hate this stop start system.

PS we rented a new car in Vegas in March. The odometer had 2886 miles on it and the computer reported that auto stop had saved 174 miles of gas in that short time. That's 5%. Nothing to sneeze about.
