Hi explorers, I wanted to make a knowledge post. I have a 2018 PIU it came with the standard cloth seats. I was able to source some 10 way electric seats from another 2018 explorer. However the seat rails are not in the same positions. The seat belt sensors are compatible I tested and no airbag...

Here are some photos of a conversion harness for Piu. It is used to convert NON-SYNC to SYNC 2/3.

Hello, i ordered a key fob (GB5z-15K601-D) and used forscan to enable remote keyless entry and programming. I have tried multiple times to enter the 48 digit TIC but the key fob will not work. I have tried new batteries in the fob. Any thoughts?

Hello all, I recently purchased my first PIU and I'm currently in the process of fixing it up. It has this strange hole on the driver's side exterior rear panel covered in putty, which we were able to ask a municipal employee and find out that it was an electrical outlet used to power the...

Both rear door electronic locks will not work, handle are all hooked up and ive replaced both actuators. is there something i am missing? something in forscan?

Hello! I need to remove the brace behind the dashboard. I was able to remove the dashboard but couldnt figure out where all the screws are to remove the metal brace. Can anyone please help me with precise instructions to remove it? I believe is just screws but cant figure out all the locations...

Have been working on the auction find for the past month adding mods and such. Of course the wife wanted a center console with the select shift. Just got that installed and wired for the select shift.... Which needed an Instrument Cluster from a non-piu explorer to make that work. So the...

This is my 3.7L n/a 2016 FPIU. The last three days have been rough, weather-wise. We had snow and freezing rain on Thursday. I took my Escape to work, not wanting to take chances with the worn Eagles on the Ex. It was sitting in my driveway on a hill, nose lower than the rear. The sun came out...

Hello to the forum. I am a new owner of a 2016 PIU Explorer. The decommissioning of the vehicle seems to be a gentler one, the wires seemed to be carefully clipped and the rear doors had the rods reattached and are functional from the interior. Evereything was left intact for the most part...

Hello! First post on here.. So thankful for this forum and the information that I have got from it. I am just wondering if a CAI for the 3.7L turbo is worth upgrading, or is the stock one decent? i am looking for a slight performance boost and a louder turbo so i would probably go with the K&N...

I have a '17 PIU w/ the 3.7 NA. When I got the car, it had codes for bad cats, bad O2 sensors, and an evap leak. So far, I've replaced the purge valve which fixed the evap leak, both downstream O2 sensors which fixed nothing, and both cats. When I did the cats, it turns out I accidentally bought...

Spent some time in new Expedition EL and a MAX. Time to downsize(a little) and de-complicate(a lot). Purchased a 2022 Royal Blue Ford PIU with numerous features but had a hard life and a weird decommission. It was involved in an accident which required towing, but no major body damage... I...

This morning I drove the car no issue. But at afternoon, it won't start. At the first time trying, it acts like it will start but won't complete starting cycle. About two months ago, it won't start several times when the weather is very hot. It would start when not hot. But this time, the...

2016 PIU 3.7L - Ex Ohio Police vehicle, 168,000 miles when bought w/“issues” - working on it. Anyone have a wiring diagram for an “as equipped” 16PIU? Esp the pin outs on the siren unit (w/o the Moto radio head unit)

I got a used PTU and low and behold, no cooler, I don't really need a cooler for this and I just want to delete the cooler... Do I plug the lines or connect them? Doesn't seem to be a lot of info on the "how the cooler works."

Hey all, Recently purchased a 2016 PIU Explorer and the center console radio/climate doesnt work. It will blast full heat from the front defroster but thats about it. I checked the fuses relevant to the panel and they are in good shape, i even was able to put a disc in and it started...

Just picked up my new to me 3.7 '19 PIU Been lurking/researching for while, but finally found the right unit for a decent price so pulled the trigger this last weekend. It needs some work, mostly the basic amenities to be added/improved, and a bloody set of hubcaps. But, just glad I was able...

Hello all, I have a few parts available that were removed from my 2016 PIU. All items are in great cosmetic condition as well as fully functional. Prices are shipped to the 48 conus. I will ship internationally but you will be responsible for the shipping costs. If you think I’m way off on price...

Greetings all, I have noises coming from the front driver side that sounds like bearings. I took it to my local mechanic and he said it is possible it is the PTU, but then hedged and said <15% chance of that, most likely just the bearing. He suggested taking it to a dealer. I've never done a...

I have been all over the places I can think of, and I cannot find a spreadsheet or any document with as-built codes for a 2013 PIU. I have found quite a few LINKS but they all go to an iCloud page that no longer works. I am mostly trying to work with the stereo, Bluetooth, and rear-view camera...

I've been searching these past threads for a while with no luck: I am trying to find the specs on the bolts that hold down the cross bar in the back of my PIU. If anyone has a link or more information or clues as to how I can find these bolts (or their specifications) I'd appreciate it. Ive...

Good morning All: After going through 10 pages of search results for transmission issues, I was unable to find my specific issues... BACKGROUND: 2016 FPIU 3.7 w/AWD, current mileage 122,600. Changed Trans, PTU and rear diff fluid at 100,000, all with Amsoil of the correct weights, about 1.5...

Please assist with any as built changes available for piu explorer. I need to enable autolock for doors when driving away. Enable driver and passenger windows to go up and down with one touch instead of holding it always. Information center I want to remove the 4 aux display and add AWD .Any...

Is there a forscan setting to enable front speakers or something else.I tested speakers and harness is connected. Rear speakers work . Please help.

I couldn't find any info elsewhere about my issue, when stationary I can go into low gear by pulling the column shift down past drive, or by pressing the button at the end. But while driving, it will not shift into low gear. ATF is fine as far as I know, just checked it tonight and its still...

First posting on this site and thought I’d share some success. Recently purchased a 2017 PIU from an auction but did not have Engine Idle switch installed. With the help of posts here and other sites I was able to get the panel with bezel and the Police Engine Idle switch. It did require IDS...

I have the 2022 Ford Police Interceptor Utility. Unfortunately the vehicle was not outfitted with a dome light. I would like to install the following dome light: ECVDMLTALDC https://soundoffsignal.com/product/dome-led-lights/ I dont have a wiring diagram for the vehicle and Im not sure where...

A few hours ago I was driving and heard a weird sound. I can't exactly describe it but my first thought was that it was being caused by my less than spectacular usb bluetooth transmitter. I turned the sound level down & still heard it. So then I unplugged the transmitter & still heard it. Next...

Hello Everyone! I am curious if anyone had any experience with replacing a steering rack assembly on the PIU. As it has the EPAS system does it need to be reprogrammed or should the part come already programmed to work? If so has anyone had experience with reprogramming. As times are hard so I...

Hello, I retrofitted climate (heat/cool) Lincoln MKS seats into my 2013 PIU and the DCSM Self-Test passes and works perfectly in ForScan / IDS. You can hear the vents power up one at a time for each seat along with their relays. All the seat buttons appear in my Sync 2 / MFT display and also...

Hey guys, A while back I had a 2015 PIU and successfully made a bunch of mods using an OBD connector and FORScan installed on my laptop. Including: AWD Display, RKE, Dark Car etc. I am buying a 2016 PIU now, which to my understanding is the next generation and after spending hours and hours on...

I have a 2018 Explorer Police Interceptor Utility and wanted to see if it was possible to install a keyless entry and/or remote start to it. I know remote start isn't difficult on the non-utility models because they already have keyless entry. Because the utility trim doesn't have keyless entry...

Hey people - wanted to say hi. I'm a new, proud owner of a 2013 FPIU - former Snohomish County WA detective's ride. It's a beast in amazing shape and I'm totally stoked to turn it into a sweet daily driver! I'm here to learn how to do all the things my local Ford dealer says "can't be done:"...

Hi all, just got a 2015 PIU at auction and am new to the forum. I have been piece-mealing my upgrades for a couple of weeks now. I am very much not a car guy, so this is a fun learning project for me! I'm looking to buy a molded carpet to replace the vinyl flooring in it now, and was wondering...

Hi, I've been doing lots of reading here, but there is still so much to learn. I have two close friends who have both bought PIU's from Jacky Jones in Cleveland, GA. and I will probably buy mine from there as well as I live in North Ga. I'm a HAM radio guy and volunteer with ARES and local...

So I was gone for a bit, the wife got a recall letter for my ol' 2013 interceptor, thought she was going to do me a favor and took it in... Dealership took all my fun away, re-tuned, changed out my heavy duty equipment and Neutered it. Runs like a Limp noodle now... Anyone know what the...

Hi all, I'm trying to find the rubber grommet used for passing wires through the firewall so that I don't have to drill a hole through the firewall (Installing aftermarket fog lights (mine didn't come with them stock) and an LED light bar). Anybody got a copy of the 2013 upfitter's guide, or...

Hey all! I've been reading every post I can find about my missing console, but still have questions and need help! Short of trying to get a deputy to let me go through his PIU and possibly take photos (which I doubt is going to happen ; ) I searched our county's facebook, etc., for details on...

Hi, I just recently purchased a 2013 PIU with 81,000 on it. I've done my due diligence, but I can't find any repair or removal information on the ballistic panels. I'm not sure of the panel manufacturer without pulling the door skin but my best guess is angel armor. They rattle when I close the...
