Auto stop start (ESS) permanent disable / defeat by unplugging hood sensor

[Stickerhead]

Disconnected the battery monitor, problem solved. Since the warning lite is above the fuel level, don’t even notice it. Wall-la!

I'd drive one day less a week to get rid of ESS.

Did a trailer tow test today. I wired in the aftermarket Mopar 7 pin trailer lights, but they were not factory installed on my Jeep. My boat trailer is 7 pin round. The Auto Start Stop "feature" still activated at every red light, even with the trailer plugged in.

I think the word you were looking for is "voila." LoL

Did the same thing today. That indicator will be invisible within days.....

You don’t speak “Texan” do you?

Is that like the R-uh-ral version of Ebonics ?

I was born and raised in Texas, but I guess I don’t speak the language. Is “wall-la” some kind of anti-Mexican verbiage?

If you are asking seriously, "voila" is a French word meaning "there it is" or "here it is", but pronounced "vwalla." I often see Americans incorrectly writing the word as "walla".

Guess we have an “English major” on our forum!

Maybe. Depends on who’s asking!

English major? You've got the wrong guy!

Ok, a Frenchman!

I did this today while doing my first oil change, and it threw a code. P0073, Ambient Air Temp Sensor Sensor High. I reconnected the hood sensor, but code and check engine light remained. Cleared code and it seems to be fine now. Don't know it is an unrelated coincidence, but I guess I'll be dealing with the stupid ESS for the time being.

Unrelated - your ambient air temperature is tucked behind your front grill and isn’t tied into a hood switch, you most likely have a bad switch or it has somehow come in contact with the radiator.
