Out of the factory, Auto Start-Stop comes back on at every key cycle. This module remembers your last choice and sends it again at the next start. This version is built for the switch bank used on vehicles equipped with Active Park Assist, which carries the stop-start button alongside the park-assist button.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory button stays in place and still works. Press it and the module stores the new choice. Unplug the module and the vehicle goes back to stock behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhich Ford Edge models it fits\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fitment table for this SKU lists the following, each marked as a 100% fitment match:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFord Edge: 2019–2024\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor reference, the Ford Edge in these years is a midsize crossover offered with 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder and 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engines, most of the driving it sees is commuting, errands and light cargo duty. The listing is written around the second-generation (2015-2024) Edge. Trim is not listed separately. Any trim in these years with factory stop-start and the pictured connector is covered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the factory system does\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuto Start-Stop is designed to default to on. The off switch (usually marked with an \"A\" inside a circular arrow) cancels it for the current drive. At the next start the system is armed again. That reset is intentional on the manufacturer's side, and it is the only behavior this module changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere it connects\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis version is built for the switch bank used on vehicles equipped with Active Park Assist, which carries the stop-start button alongside the park-assist button. Disconnect nothing else and splice nothing. Once both plugs are locked, tuck the harness where it will not be pinched when the panel goes back on. Test by switching Auto Start-Stop off, cycling the ignition and checking the indicator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiagnostics first\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf a \"stop-start unavailable\" or similar message appears, check the battery first. A battery that tests weak, a recent battery replacement that was not registered where the manufacturer requires it, or a fault in the battery current sensor can all disable the system. Clear up those issues before judging how the module works, because it cannot hold a setting the vehicle refuses to accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConditions the factory system checks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuto stop needs several conditions at once: a warm engine, enough battery charge, moderate cabin heating or cooling demand, and the vehicle fully stopped with the brake held. If any is missing, the engine keeps running. The module only remembers the button state; the factory controller still decides whether a stop is allowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere owners notice the difference\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome owners only want stop-start off in certain seasons or on certain trips, such as towing a trailer or crawling through summer traffic with the A\/C working hard. Because the module remembers whatever you chose last, it works both ways: leave the system off for a week, then switch it back on with the factory button and it stays on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKeep the battery healthy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVehicles with stop-start normally use an AGM or EFB battery sized for repeated restarts. If you replace it, use the same type and size, and follow the manufacturer's battery reset or registration step where one exists. A wrong or unregistered battery can leave the stop-start system disabled, and that has nothing to do with this module.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eScope of the module\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt does not change engine power, transmission shifts, emissions calibration or fuel trims.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt does not write anything to the vehicle's modules, and removing it restores the stock default.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt leaves the factory button working, so you can turn stop-start back on whenever you want.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt remembers the last stop-start setting through a key cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment check\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel year and model match a row in the table above (2019–2024 Ford Edge).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYour Ford Edge has the factory stop-start button.

Battery state is one of the inputs that decides whether the engine may stop. With the module installed the same rules apply, and the same battery type should be used when it is replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions owners ask\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change engine power or fuel trims?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It does not reprogram the engine or transmission computers. It only stores the stop-start button state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the stop-start button still work after installation on the Ford Edge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The factory button works normally. The module simply stores whatever you chose last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill Auto Start-Stop come back on when I restart my Ford Edge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot if you turned it off before shutting down. The module repeats your last selection at the next start. If you leave it on, it stays on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow does it connect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis version is built for the switch bank used on vehicles equipped with Active Park Assist, which carries the stop-start button alongside the park-assist button.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich Ford Edge years does this fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe listed range is 2019–2024. Check the fitment table on this page against your exact model year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it change how the battery is charged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Charging is still managed by the vehicle. Stop-start vehicles normally use an AGM or EFB battery built for frequent restarts; replace it with the same type when it wears out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does Auto Start-Stop turn itself back on every time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAutomakers set stop-start to default to on at each start. Under EPA test rules, a system that stays off after shutdown is tested both on and off and the results are averaged, which lowers the rated fuel economy, so most systems reset at every key cycle. The module carries your last choice across that reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes my Ford Edge need the factory stop-start button for this to work?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The module works with the factory stop-start system and its button. A vehicle built without stop-start has no setting for it to remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fix a \"stop-start unavailable\" message?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. That message usually points to the battery or a sensor. Diagnose and repair that first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does my Ford Edge sometimes not auto-stop even when the system is on?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe factory logic checks battery charge, engine temperature, climate load and other inputs. If any are outside range it keeps the engine running. The module does not affect those checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if I unplug it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vehicle returns to the factory default, with Auto Start-Stop switched on at every start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I remove it later?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Unplug the module and reconnect the factory connector; the vehicle returns to its stock default.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same part for every Ford?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Connectors and the module that holds the stop-start state differ by platform, so this SKU is matched to the fitment rows on this page. Send the VIN to support if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOrdering details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe ship free within the contiguous United States (1–2 business days to dispatch, roughly 3–4 business days in transit).
