    Police Interceptor Utility Photo Thread

    I'll probably post photos - usually I drive these cars here in the States for a bit before shipping.

    Mystery ground wire

    Been a while - you're right. I did install a new frame to transmission ground wire at that time. Truck has been long gone now. On my third Interceptor right now.

    Police Interceptor Utility Photo Thread

    RDE is Debica, southeast Poland. I spend most of my time in Chicago but still keep my "escape pod" in Poland - sort of my home away from home.

    Police Interceptor Utility Photo Thread

    Here it is, final moments with my 2013 PIU - might be going to another Ford fanatic sometime soon. 2014 stays in the family for now!

    Seat Swap Airbag Question

    I'm going to have to get back to you on this one - I'll get my scanner connected to make sure I am pointing you in the right direction. Will not be possible until early next week though. Remind me if I forget.

    Seat Swap Airbag Question

    I have resolved issues with Airbags with both of my PIU's - both had fault codes stored in the memory - both were erased with ForScan.

    Stiff steering

    I know how it feels when it's not working - had to deal with it when my alternator went out. In this instance it is not like butter like it's supposed to be and it's not completely down, just harder and not returning to straight after a turn. Suspect alignment but that was done like 500 miles ago...

    Stiff steering

    I have noticed steering to be quite a bit stiffer lately on my 2014 PIU. Since this is electric assist would this mean that the unit is going bad or something more sinister? Anyone deal with this problem in the past?

    Or you can install Parrot Bluetooth Car System. I did that in my 2013 PIU - my 2014 came with Sync.

    Ran out gas - gauge or sender?

    Miles to empty on these does not correspond to the actual values pretty much. I do go by the gauge though which in this case did not, does not work as it should. Chances are something was replaced throughout the years - might of been wrong sender at one point. Just speculating

    Ran out gas - gauge or sender?

    Felt really stupid last Saturday when I ran out of gas on the tollway. H.E.L.P. was there to rescue me but non the less - how do you run out of gas when gauge still shows somewhere in the middle between empty and 1/4 tank and computer says 86 miles to empty? Is it possible that sender is bad...

    Cell phone mount

    I did buy mine from ProClip - pretty well designed and built although a bit expensive

    A Pillar / Spotlight ????

    If you opt out to drill the molding you can download instructions including how to cut the hole from Unity's website - that's at least what I did when I replaced moldings on my 2013.

    Replacing front seats

    Just FYI - I did replace the seats, plugged them in and connected heat. Airbag light went out after reset. All good. If you have specific questions please let me know.

    How do I get Rear Windows to go up and down

    all good - overhead lights work - bulbs were taken out - windows work as well - I did not have to do anything except to work a bit on the switches that have not been used in quite a while. thanks though - might help someone else!

    Power Transfer Unit (PTU) Leak

    Would be interesting to hear from others - I have 77,000 miles on mine and so far the only problem I have had was with a bone dry PTU. And yes, $2400.00 is a bit steep especially since Ford is the only guilty party here with faulty design (IMO) of the driveline on this vehicle from the beginning.

    2011-2015 Police Utility Forscan Settings

    I was not able to get my Remote Start working. I did install hood switch, enabled RS in both, IPC and BCM but it will still not work - I do not touch ASBUILT - I work with everything in set-up where you select what you want to do... I'll get some screen shots later on. Just busy - don't really...

    Check your PTU fluid level!

    We shall see - gotta drain it again sometime soon to see if any of the sludge inside dissolved...

    Check your PTU fluid level!

    I did the "vent tube mod" but it's pretty tedious filling this thing up through a quarter inch hole - will definitely change oil again, sometime soon... and possibly another time for good measure within a month - think that if those are not satisfactory I might even go with filling it up with...

    Check your PTU fluid level!

    We should do something like -->October is the "Low PTU oil level awareness month"<-- Just a reminder people - check PTU oil in your vehicle often! I procrastinated and kept driving even though I have noticed pick-up in vibrations from the driveline of my 2013 Utility - decided to do the oil...

    Heated seats - ideas?

    Rick, I still have the police center console and am going to utilize it for the switches and to hide the wiring. Just wanted to know what people have done to hook these up, just basic seat heater switches off amazon or ebay and relays or a ready to go wiring kit... that's all. I can get the...
