If you're looking to deactivate the auto start-stop feature on a Ford Escape, unfortunately, you might not like the options available. You can't simply turn it off, and removing the necessary fuse isn't recommended as it's required for other functions. One alternative is to purchase an eliminator chip, which typically costs around $100 and needs to be professionally installed into the vehicle's CPU. This modification will eliminate the auto start-stop function, but it's worth noting that it may void your warranty, so proceed at your own risk.

The Autostop Eliminator is a simple plug-and-play device that connects to the OBD port, no expertise or wiring needed. By default, it deactivates the auto stop feature, which can be easily reactivated with the switch on the console. The module will remember your switch preference.
