If you buy a Tazer JL, you can turn it off, but it does a lot more. Changing tire size, changing gear ratio, security alarm on your hood, turning on back up camera with the turn signals and much much more

Dino...Good job on the smart stop start device description. I was going to buy the Tazer JL mini module, but haven't got around to it. I just try to remember to press the buttons after I start my jeep. The drawback with the Tazer unit is that is costs $200 more than the smartstopstart device. You get much more functionality, but not everyone needs that extent of customization. Keep up the good work...

I learned to control ESS with the break pedal. You press it down to stop the car and then immediately gently release it and press it down again - normally the ESS does not engage. ESS only engages when you hold the break down firmly for 2-3 seconds. So many people hate when the engine stops running - particularly ironic when people disable it in jeeps equipped with eTorque.

@CheaperJeeperTV 8 ай бұрын

Yes, the eTorque is a different animal for sure. That could be a whole video. Unfortunately I believe they stopped making those for the newer models. Cheers

Thank You for posting this video, I will be looking into this modification. Vehicles today are loaded with "save you from yourself" features, that truly diminish the joy of driving. The number of times my Subi engine wears on my auto stop/start is very annoying.

@xtbro78 8 ай бұрын

YES! The first drive I took in the Jeep I noticed that Stop/Start. Arghh! I don't recall this device being available then (very early 2020). I ended up with a Tazer, but this is way less money. My thought too is that the starter motor is having to crank much more often. Starters aren't cheap! They're not fun to install either. I wish Jeep would stop trying to "think" for us drivers.

This was the first device I installed on my 2018 jlu Sahara. I always wondered if this saves on my little aux battery? And yes you’re right. It’s a pain to get in and install. But doable and glad I have had it in mine for over three years with no issues

You can now delete the aux battery as it’s no longer needed. Connect aux battery wires to main battery terminals. Throw aux battery away.

The best mod for this issue is to pop the hood and disable one of the hood latch sensors. It is free to do and just clips in and out so you can reconnect any time. What I do personally however, is to shift manually (this is for the auto transmission). This disables the ESS and also improves fuel economy because I can down shift earlier or lock it in to 8th gear for long drives. Secondlly, neither of these will address the real issue which of ESS which can lead to a dead battery and wasted time and money at the dealer. The fix is to eliminate the small lawnmower battery by pulling it out, taping off the neg lead and reconnecting the pos of the AUX to the main battery POS. If you don't do this, the small battery will die and then kill the larger battery too. You can't really tell this work has been done and the dealer doesn't really know if they test the main battery.

Good deal. Now they need a device to override the dashboard warning I get when you have a Jeep JLUR with factory LED package and replaced the taillights with Oracle flush mount LED. People tried Tazer and they can’t fix it.

I would have thought Tazer could have covered that. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Mine only says Tail Lights are not working, when I first start the engine, then it cycles back to normal operation.

@@TwoFeatherChannel might have been an update issue, we’ve had ours on the wife’s JL for two years now with no issues, helped us when we re geared also. Also just put one my JT and works like it should. It be worth a shot if you have one on hand already.

What about disabling the aux battery? I haven’t done that myself, but once that little battery dies…I’ll be removing it from the equation.

I think this was easier. I have also read on forums about people getting some type of indicator light in their dash from messing with the small battery and fuse process. Interestingly, and I forgot to mention it, my 2018 went trouble free, battery wise, running the SmartStopStart on it🤷🏻‍♂️

When the 12v battery is getting old, the start/stop automatically disable itself. It happens to our 2018 JL, when I talked to the dealer, they said just left it as it was. The Start/Stop is a government mandate, despite it does not save any gas, so screw it. On another note, there is no start/stop button on our 4xe.

Did you have the Tazer feature that allowed you to use your full Navigation controls while in motion? I remember Tazer warning of a software bug that would cause the screen to randomly turn on when the Jeep is off leading to a dead battery.

@bizzfo 8 ай бұрын

@@michaelvidal5135 no, only had it for a few features, start/stop, hood alarm, backup camera stays on and backup camera on with blinkers. The main thing for me was start/stop. I installed a Mopar hood latch lock so the hood alarm doesn’t matter much anymore. The backup camera with blinkers was very glitchy. Luckily the Jeep was still under warranty so I didn’t have to pay the ~$900 for 2 new batteries at the Stealership. I want to reiterate I don’t know for sure it was the Tazer just me guessing. Both batteries were 3 years old.

Thanks for the details. The hood alarm is still useful with the hood latch lock incase you forget to lock the hood@@bizzfo
