Leaving auto transmission in neutral with engine off

[gbub]

I am pretty sure I read somewhere about a way to leave the transmission in neutral with the engine off without the chime sounding for long time. I don't remember where I saw it or the instructions.

I have a lift and like to leave the transmission in neutral so I can push my Bronco back and forth to get the lift line up properly. I don't like having to listen to the chime for a long time. It does eventually stop but if I open a door it starts all over again.

Does anyone know of a way to deactivate the chime when left in neutral with the engine off?

With out starting the engine, just push the start button and put it in accessory mode. Then you can move the gear shift lever.

You can just put your Bronco into neutral tow if that’s what you’re looking for. I’ve done it for similar needs

Step 8 push start button to turn off acct mode.
To Take it out of flat tow mode. You just push the start stop button without stepping on the brake pedal, then step on the brake pedal and put it into Park. It’s that simple.

Thanks all for the advice. That is a little complicated but will use it if I have no other choice. I found instruction for an F-150 that is a little less complicated. I have not tried it yet but will soon. I will post the results.

I tried the F-150 method and it did not work. Probably because the Bronco does not have a (M) button. I tried shifting to M but that did not work and also pushed the shift up/down button and that didn't work either.

I did try the neutral tow and that worked, plus it was not all that complicated. It did kick the brake pedal up on me but I think I turned off the acc mode with my foot on the brake. I didn't push the 2H button but I guess if it is in 2H you don't need to. I will push it anyway the next time.

Thanks again for the help.
