I have the wiring diagrams and have the harness installed. everything is where it should be. Pretty sure its a BCM programming issue. It's on a Police Interceptor.

Hey there! I am trying to hook up OEM fog lights on my 2017 non-eqipped. Everything is wired per the 2017 wiring diagram but enabling front fogs in Forscan does not work. I found which BCM As-Built blocks are for the fogs and I was hoping to find someone with a 2017 which came factory equipped...

I believe Forscan supports module programming now.

2016-19 does not pair the same as earlier years. Instead of pairing based on pushing a button on the fob you have to pair by entering the 48-character TIC code found inside of the key fob. That means it has to be OEM Ford key fob in order to work. Typically a dealer does this, but luckily that...

Just check if there's fluid on the ground where you did the work. If so then it burped at some point while depressing the piston and it calls for a brake bleed. If that fails have someone sit in the vehicle and pump the brakes while you walk around and listen to each wheel and the MC

Did you check the brake fluid level? When depressing the piston it is common to displace the fluid out and onto the ground causing low fluid level

Update: Called the dealer and PTO refers to the PTU. So AWD/4WD is considered with PTO.

2016+ fobs are programmed with the 48-character TIC code in Forscan. It should not de-program. Try a new battery, and if that does not work I would use Forscan to try repairing it.

The 2017 range is amazing. I haven't checked the distance but my wife uses it in a 4th story building when the car is across the street in a parking lot. The 2017 also does not use the same TPMS module, at least not in the same location. I swapped the entire interior and never came across it in...

The fob range on my 2013 PIU is terrible and you have to be standing right next to the car for it to work. I hear this is a common issue. Has anyone had any luck installing the antenna (DA8Z-15603-A) Into the TMPS module and found it improved the remote fob range? The extended range kits from...

There's something about a plow in Forscan.

Thats what I am thinking, just wanted to make sure there was not some PTO winch or plow option I was not aware of.

After you get it working report back your experience. I would be interested in doing this to mine as well. I have done it on my F150 but not on my PIU

Before removing your old cluster, save the as-built data. Then swap clusters and do the same with your new one. Then upload and write the PIU data into the new cluster. You can then go in to the non-asbuilt configuration and try turning things off and on as you would like. Just do one or two...

Can anyone clarify if there is a difference between PTU (power transfer unit) and PTO (power take off). I had only heard of PTO in the context of an auxiliary power source for mechanical winches and machinery on large trucks. I am aware that the PIU has a PTU which is essentially the transfer...

If you think it's inside the door the best bet is taking off the trim panel and checking for anything loose inside. It isn't very difficult. All you need is a 7mm and a 10mm and a pick tool/small flat head screwdriver

My oil caps disagree.

I am not sure what "noise" you think your sparkplugs are making. I'm willing to bet you are talking about valve chatter which is normal on these engines. I switched my oil to 5W-30 and they quieted down a bit. I have been told that these engines handle 5W-30 just fine but Ford wanted to milk an...

please do, both my PIU's have heated seats that are not hooked up and here in Alaska they would be nice.

Glad you got it working. For the heated seats I have always just forgone installing it due to uncertainty with how it is controlled. It could be that when putting power to the heated seat wires that the seat just goes to a certain temperature and stays there until toggled off. If thats the case...

Are all the controls backwards or just some? The motors work in reverse when the power and ground are flipped, so that should be an easy fix. For the track sensor check that the wires in both sides of the main harness connectors line up. In some cases they use different terminals so your track...

The chart I am using was made when I was installing my 2011 F150. The wires happened to line up on these seats as well. It does not surprise me that some colors may vary over the years.

I noticed that the commonly used Forscan spreadsheet link for the 5th/6th gen Explorer/PIU is a now a dead link. I uploaded it to my google drive for anyone who needs it. I do not take any credit for compiling this list. Here is the link:

Any fault codes? Typically a bad cat will throw a 0420 or 0430 code. I don't know why you'd really ever need to switch the cats and the entire exhaust system. Sounds fishy to me.

Did you get the entire seat harnesses all the way from the seat to the BdyCM? I would be interested to see photos of your install.
