2023-2026 Chevrolet Colorado Auto Start Stop Eliminator | Plug & Play

This plug-and-play memory harness is for the 2023–2026 Chevrolet Colorado. It stores the last stop-start setting you chose, so if you turned Auto Stop/Start off on one drive, it stays off the next time you start the engine. It plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions, using factory-style plugs on both ends, so nothing is cut or spliced.

It does not delete the feature. Turning stop-start back on is the same button press as before, and the module will remember that too. Removing it returns the vehicle to its original default.

Which Chevrolet Colorado models it fits

Listed applications (each row is a 100% fitment match for the factory connector this part uses):

• Chevrolet Colorado: 2023–2026

The listing is written around the third-generation (2023-up) Colorado. Trim levels are not split out in the table, so confirm that your vehicle has the stop-start button before ordering.

Why the button resets

With Auto Stop/Start active, the engine shuts off when the vehicle comes to a stop and restarts when you lift off the brake or press the accelerator. The off button is a manual override for that drive only. Turn the ignition off and back on, and the system defaults to on again, so drivers who prefer it off end up pressing the button at the start of every trip.

Where owners notice the difference

Drivers usually switch stop-start off for comfort or habit. A restart at every stop is noticeable in a midsize pickup, the climate system may run at reduced output while the engine is off, and quick moves into traffic feel slower when the engine has to fire first. If those are your reasons, you probably press the button on every drive now. With the module, you press it once.

What to expect

• Fully reversible: unplug it and the vehicle returns to factory behavior.
• No tune, no reflash, no change to horsepower or shift points.
• Stores the stop-start choice you made last and repeats it at the next start.
• Keeps the original switch fully functional.

Troubleshooting notes

A dead or weak battery, a charging problem or an unrelated module fault will change how Auto Stop/Start behaves with or without this part installed. Scan the vehicle for stored codes, test the battery and confirm the system works normally with the factory button before installation. That baseline makes any later issue easy to pin down.

Things that already block an auto stop

The factory system will skip an auto stop for many reasons: battery charge below its threshold, cold coolant, high climate-control load, a steep grade, the hood or driver door open, or a 4WD or tow mode on vehicles that have them. Those checks stay in control after this module is installed. It does not force stops and it does not bypass any of those safety inputs.

Battery notes for stop-start vehicles

The module draws its power from the vehicle and does not change charging behavior. If your Chevrolet Colorado sits for long periods, the same rules apply as without it: a maintainer helps, and a battery that tests weak should be replaced with the type specified for stop-start vehicles (usually AGM or EFB).

Where it connects

It plugs in line with the factory connector named in the instructions, using factory-style plugs on both ends, so nothing is cut or spliced. Because it is plug-in only, removal is the reverse: unplug the module and reconnect the factory connectors directly. Keep the original clips and trim fasteners if you remove a panel to reach the connector.

Confirm these points

• Model year and model match a row in the table above (2023–2026 Chevrolet Colorado).
• Your Chevrolet Colorado has the factory stop-start button. Base trims or engines without stop-start have nothing for the module to remember.
• No aftermarket remote start, alarm or gateway bypass is wired into the same circuit. If one is, email support before ordering.
• The battery and charging system test good and no warning lights are on.
• The connector at your install point matches the one in the product photos.
• If you are unsure, send your VIN to support@automotivebypass.com and we will confirm fitment.
