Disable Auto Start/Stop on 2025 Explorer ST

The auto start/stop system sucks period!
I purchased the AutoEliminator start/stop and installed it in my 24 Lariat F-150 and my 23 Explorer ST.
The ST took 10 minutes to install and was easy.
The F-150 was a little more difficult to get to the switch behind the dash but was doable.
I highly recommend AutoEliminator start/stop.

"Designed for" Is completely subjective. If you think they did anything new to the flywheel teeth or to the starter for this feature, then I have lots of swamp land for sale for you. They added in controls (electronics) only to make this feature function. MANY, many recals and failures happen all the time to "designed" features in automotive and every other industry. Think about that.

I won’t try to argue the points you mentioned. I am just saying that the battery is not a concern in this equation. That was one thing the original poster was concerned with. If you think the engineers did not take into account the mechanical aspects…why do you own a Ford product (assuming you do)? The Auto Stop/Start system is not a popular feature. I don’t particularly like it…but for me it isn’t worth the effort to disable it.
Auto start stop is not a Ford proprietary feature. It is on many other vehicle manufacturers vehicles. I know they did nothing different. Ford is, and has been, one of my largest customers for years. I am in and out of Ford, Dearborn R&D facilities and Ford Studio pretty often. It wasn't hard for me to inqure about it in the past.

The one I bought from 4D Tech failed within just a couple of weeks, it is being returned tomorrow. I ordered the Autostop Eliminator to replace the 4D Tech one this morning. I had no issues with the Autostop Eliminator brand on my 2022 ST.
I was in communication with Jessica @ Autostop Eliminator and she notified me later today that the installation video is now on their website for the 25'. It was just put up today.

Ummmmm.. NO.
Autostop Eliminator brand is made in USA and with USA parts - that makes a huge difference. It is MUCH better than 4D Tech.
I had a 4D Tech (Only because it was out first for the 25') that lasted less than 2-week and failed. I replaced it with the the Autostop Eliminator that came out shortly afterwards. This is the second time I have purchased and used Autostop Eliminator with no issues.
