At the same time, Ford and other vehicle manufacturers DO NOT have a harness anywhere on the vehicle which can be disconnected to only disable the auto start-stop functionality. Additionally, Ford and other vehicle manufacturers DO NOT add any extra wiring harnesses and modules to their vehicles without a specific purpose. Any wire that’s unplugged from the vehicle WILL disable some other feature on your vehicle. Disconnecting a random harness is going to have the negative side effect of not being able to operate your vehicle safely on the road, which can lead to accidents and even death.
