    Tow Mode Not Possible on PIU

    Hey all, I know that several folks, myself included, have wondered whether Tow/Haul mode can be added to the PIU. I can say with 100% certainty that Tow/Haul mode is unavailable on 2015 and older model PIUs. On the 2011-2015 Explorers, if the vehicle did not have the center stack switches...

    Source for pins for various OEM connectors

    I have added a number of features to my 2014 PIU that were not present from the factory. So far, most of the new wiring I've added is simply just long bare wire leads shoved into the empty cavities of the plugs. Of all the additions I've made, the only one I was able to source the OEM connector...

    Used OEM backup camera installed, shows very grainy/squiggly, video link provided.

    This evening, I completed installation of an OEM backup camera in my 2014 PIU. The camera, plastic mounting shroud, and wiring harness came from a chrome liftgate trim piece, same 2011-2015 model design. I was unable to source the male end of the 8 pin connector used by Ford for the backup...

    Wiring harness kit numbers

    I'm looking for a very specific wiring harness connector, and I have no leads on how to find it. I am looking for the male end of the WPT-998 connector kit. WPT-998 is an 8 pin connector used on the liftgate that plugs into connector C495 and feeds two license plate lights plus the control and...

    Police lighting pre-wire packages

    There are a number of threads about the headlamp units either being a specific model with holes for the Whelen strobes or not. I don't know the package model numbers from the dealer. Is the front strobe prep package a separate package from the rear strobe prep package? My 2014 has the wiring...

    Installing the OEM tow hitch, no threads on bolt holes.

    I am trying to install a Class III tow hitch on my 2014 PIU, and the kit I bought came with a brand new bumper and plastic cut out parts for the bumper. I've had to stop the install because my kit did not include the listed bolts on the instructions. I've been able to find one part number for...

    Tow/Haul Dash Light 2011-2015

    Just wondering where the Tow/Haul light is on different IPCs for the 11-15 Explorers. I've ran Forscan's IPC test on my 2014 PIU and couldn't find a Tow/Haul light, but yet I've found it running the same test on a 2019 PIU. Eventually I plan to test if the 2014 PIU has Tow/Haul functionality...

    Add Fog Light Indicator?

    I have been doing lots of research on the Fog Lights in the 11-15 Explorers, and I have found an option to enable the Fog Light indicator on the dash. The information I have states the following: IPC 720-01-02 xxxx x8xx xxzz to enable the Fog Light Indicator xxxx x0xx xxzz to disable the Fog...

    OEM Backup / Rearview Camera without Sync?

    So I've been doing a whole lot of research, and there are thousands of threads on here to try and trawl through, but it appears I'm just going to have to rephrase the question with specifics! I am interested in adding the OEM backup camera to my 2014 PIU. I have the 4" radio display screen and...

    2014 PIU stays running with key removed (Not Secure Idle)

    My 2014 PIU developed a weird problem on a long road trip this weekend. I pulled into a gas station and could not shut the vehicle off. I turned the key off and removed it with everything still energized and the engine running, except the auto headlights (which I personally installed and added...

    PIU trip computer display

    I've been doing some modifications to my 2014 PIU, and noticed ever since I got the vehicle back in May that the top-down car display on the Trip Computer doesn't do anything. I've never owned or driven any other 11-15 Fords, so I don't know if that's supposed to be a static display or if it...

    Adding tow mode to 2014 PIU

    I've followed all of the threads on the base Explorer forums about adding the tow mode button for engine braking and so forth, and it is super straightforward: pop the panel off, unplug the tow button harness from the dummy plug, plug into the tow button, have tow mode. Well, my 2014 PIU...

    New PIU Owner, some detailed questions

    Hello all, longtime lurker, first time poster. I just recently purchased a 2014 PIU with 40,000 miles and 435 idle hours. It was never put into service and clearly an officer's take home/family car. Lots of kids toys under the seats, and dog hair in the crevices. As such, there are no holes, no...
