Direct from China. A Chinese manufacturer in China selling on Walmart dot com
They aren't even in the USA importing them, so it's dirt cheap for them.

If you want it always off you can pull fuse F42 and disconnect the AUX battery ground. Free and done.

Doing that does NOT affect the ESS. It will continue to shut off/on but, using the main battery.

Hell of a business name of "chengduzewenruishangmaoyouxiangongsi".

I couldn't remember it to retype it, so left that off. Suffice it to say - based in China, no US connections.
I have a feeling based on the first part of "Cheng Duz.......", what does Cheng do?
Something with your gongsi, I guess

Sorry, I just HAD to.

You know that the same person is selling the same thing from the same place under another account with another made-up name.

Not saying this can't or doesn't work - it may! May be just fine.

I read awhile back that explained these gibberish company names and it stems from Amazon and other third party host selling sites like Walmart and similar requiring sellers to have an established trademarked name. The gibberish names get through the Trademark office quicker for approval and less likely to be delay for being similar to another trademarked name. Makes easier for these Chinese sellers to disappear in the ether and pop back up again under another gibberish name.

A friend of mine in the import car parts business explained to me "gray market" parts.

An example he provided was Jaguar would order 2,000 water pumps. The Chinese manufacturer would fill the order but continue making another 1,000 water pumps. Likewise for the Chinese company making the boxes to put them in. The Chinese company would then sell the "Jaguar" water pumps to other parts importers. Counterfeit but same as the originals.

This may be something like that. A manufacturer fills an order for Mingrui, does an overrun and then sells it for $14.
Mingrui sells on Amazon for $40.

That's how it works in the bike industry. You can get most things for super cheap direct from the manufacturers making the name brand stuff. They'll even put the name brand logos on it if you ask lol.

Hold on. Don't order this $14 one yet.

The description says universal fit.
It is not Jeep JL JT specific
and the plugs look a little different
than the other eliminators pictured.
At this time,
I cannot get to my Gladiator to try it out.
When I do I will let you know if it works.

Reminds me of what my grandpappy said
about One-Size Fits All socks.
They don't fit anyone.
But he had big feet.

Evidently, the Gladiator ESS
is not in the "universal fit" universe.
Auto Stop Start Deactivation

Now if a person was really handy
I suppose the plugs could be cut off
and the device spliced inline
but I have not been that motivated
since I built a Heathkit Crystal Radio.
Men of a certain age
may remember Heathkits.

As an aside,
I was able to simply reach under the dash,
feel the plug and remove it.
More importantly, I was able to plug it back
and replace the under dash panel
without breaking any fasteners
and which is not necessary to remove.

Now I have already anteed $14.
The question is, armed with experience,
do I want to wager another $40
for the model specific Mingrui ESS Disabler
with a single review of two stars.

 

[Mad Mac]

It took me a while to get around to it but:
The Mingrui ESS Disabler
model specific for Gladiator
plugs were not compatible either.
Amazon will take it back
so I am only out $4 for return shipping.

Cheaper option to disable ESS

Answer:

You use it to start the Jeep, you may use it to open a window, set your temperature, even open an app on your phone to listen to music, or maybe to choose a radio station to listen to music, set the volume on the radio, press the button to unlatch the seat belt, and yet that other use for it is too much.

Or maybe some just use it to pick their nose….

As Dad used to say - you can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose.............
