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...

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...

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...

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:

For those of you who may be looking into swapping seats from a 2011 (and possibly a 2012) Explorer into your PIU. It appears that the anchor for the front seatbelt retractor bolts to the seat rather than lower on the B-Pillar. The passenger side also has an additional plug that is not present on...

Has anyone experienced air vent popping/cracking noise in freezing temperatures when the heat is on? I think it’s the air ducts expanding and contracting and it’s pretty obnoxious. I know it’s not a blend air door, at least nothing like I’ve heard before.its very random and cannot be replicated...

Anyone have a copy of the 11+ Explorer Forscan spreadsheet? I always just kept it bookmarked but it looks like the original host (PlatinumOwner) has taken it down or the link expired. I tried sending him a message without any response. Thanks!

I am pretty sure the issue is a faulty board and I'll just need to find a new climate control unit, but wanted to check if anyone has had this issue. My climate control and radio works except for the blend door control panel. The face and feet buttons do not work when pressed. I usually have it...

Hey folks. It seems that the beefed up suspension on these PIU's always leaves the rear sitting higher than the front. Has anyone put a leveling kit on the front end to level things out? It's a pretty common kit on F-150s. The only kit I have found adds lift to front and back but only the front...

This is the first time I am using Forscan to diagnose my P0430 code (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2). I just changed out my bank 2 downstream sensor a month ago with a Denso sensor. Based on the catalyst bank 2 reading it is obvious that it is reading too high, so possible a...

I finally got around to installing a backup camera and monitor. After testing several brands I finally landed on a 7" monitor by ZeroXClub (weird brand name). I filmed the installation process if anyone is considering doing the same. I know some PIU's came with a camera but unfortunately my 2013...

I decided to make a video on one of the number one asked topics, how to install and activate the AUX input on non-sync equipped Police Interceptors. The video shows a 2013 but It should be relatively similar for all 5th gen PIU's, 2016 and newer may have slight differences so be aware of that...

I managed to find a great deal at public surplus auction. Also managed to find someone with a wrecked 2013 Explorer sport and was able to pick up a complete interior as well as roof rack, grille, and replacement rear glass (mine was broken out). This is my 3rd PIU swap and 6th police car swap...

Looking for the 4 black roof rack end caps. Shipping to 99577 but I can provide a prepaid shipping label. Thanks

Hey folks, I am trying to make use of the 4-way steering wheel controls. It is my understanding that since they are negative switched that I should be able to identify the terminals by using a multimeter and finding continuity between each of the terminals and ground when toggling the switches...

Working on my 13 PIU and I scored a full interior complete with dash trim pieces including the little panel on the left that includes Daytime running light switch. There is a lower switch bank on the same panel that has a liftgate button as well as a "tow" button. I cannot locate a dormant plug...
