Wow, great job. That would have taken me three weeks. I finally got my Intercepter, a 2015 Ford. I am so happy with it and look forward to making a few mods on it.
@@Pete717 I went down to Virginia to pick it up. I had a blast driving it back to NY. Everyone got out of my way and people were afraid to pass me. It was getting kind of annoying because I was doing the speed limit and holding up all the traffic. LOL One time I had to pull off and just let all the traffic pass. It was fun, but after a while it got annoying.
Pete717, Have you tried swapping out the radio yet. I was looking to replace the whole center with a 8" screened radio, was hoping to find a vid with this done.
Great video, I was just about to embark on this task and its good to see the steps worked out. To add, I plan to 3d print an insert to replace the floor shifter space.
Pete, I enjoy your videos. I’m about to install a similar console, and I have a couple of questions, if you have the time: 1. When you removed the old metal wiring tunnel (aft of the console), did you just leave the existing wires exposed along the center hump between the console and the rear seat? If so, why? (I assume you didn’t want to disable anything important by cutting wires, and/or didn’t want to re-route along the door sill?) If the wires did remain, did you ever do anything to protect the wires from unintentional damage? 2. I see in a recent comment that you never hooked up the ambient lighting for the rear foot wells. Did you find it too difficult to tap into an interior lighting circuit from the dash harnesses? Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Hey, I haven't put my console in yet and I was also wondering the same... Will it squish the wires that are going along the hump to the back seats? Did you leave the plastic tube exposed?
Hello Pete how are you doing? I have 2015 ford taurus base model, I want to move the gear stick from the center console to the steering wheel just like the police interceptor model , can you share us a video about it i’ll be grateful and I promise you that i’ll share the video in every taurus group I know 🤣👍🏻 thank you and have a nice day
Quick Question: My car Taurus 2015 Police interceptor. Can i fit any used console from SHO, SE, SEL or limited trims? By the way keep up the good work. Thanks
@@aizazghumman8719 Surething. Let me know if you have anymore questions. YOu should be able to find console on ebay auto for $150-250 shipped, I did few of them...
Sure would be great to find a video of how to fix the parking lights on these interceptors. Recently got one and the parking lights have us stumped. Any help would be great. Love these cars! Keep the videos coming!
Pete717, I have a question, Would you by any chance know why, if the dash on the Ford interceptor has not changed since 2013 compared with a 2015 they look the same, Why do they say that the floor console is not compatible? What is your thought since you have dealt with this replacement idea. Thanks
Mid 2013-2018 same dash, same center console, I install multiple center consoles all different age and 2013 and up will be same, sometime they say not compatible because like limited model has extra features vs basic, so they are thinking of electrical compatibility but mechanically same.
Thank you, I thought the same, very good to have your opinion. Today I will order the new used radio and floor console. I will keep you posted with how it turns out.
Hey I just got my center console for my Taurus, one thing I noticed mounted on the floor was a restraints control module, did your console mount on top of it because my console seems to sit a bit higher sitting on top of that module
Pete717 Yes worked fine, I was only able to bolt it to the dashboard, the holes on the back of the console don’t line up with the hole on the floor, I might need a bracket for the floor that lines up with holes on the console but the console doesn’t move at all, it’s pretty sturdy
@@original_silverdee In order to properly secure the console to the floor, you need to first install 3 brackets. I could not find them on eBay, so I had to order them from a Ford dealer.

Hey man, I'm interested in buying one of these it's a 2010, it has an electric problem all the buttons don't work and the heat is blowing can't turn it or off or use any radio buttons. Do you think it's something that I could take care of easily. thanks
I only got cigarette lighters working, just get voltmeter, touch one contact on the lighter and then keep trying connectors on the plug once you get them all pined out, use power from one of the cigarette lighter car has at the dash near the center console.
Pete717 Well to let you know that didn’t work for me, I ended taking the center console out removed the factory wire harness and rewired it for the two cigarette lighters and usb connections.
Homero A Ferreyra well the original harness from the car was cut somewhere in the car, I couldn’t find it, now under the dash there were two plugs, one was a six pin with three hot and three ground and the other I believe is a sixteen pin, some hot some grounds and hot with the ignition on, and they sell plugs with pigtails so you can connect them, it was much easier rewiring the console then to trace where every wire is going.
I'm curious if the wiring for the rear heated seats are already there or if that's a whole different harness? I know sometimes car makers run the wires but dont install switches Edit; I need to know cuz our sho doesnt have rear heated seats. So swap would be awesome
i purchased a factory cup holder from ford, modified it to replace the shifter location and painted the drive selector ring. left it column shift. hate the gap, but Im about to fix that with a dash bezel kit fro Scosche.
I’m also interested in which cup holder you modified to work! Do you have a part number? As for the gap, If you are talking about the one directly underneath the radio bezel, another option is to replace the PIS bezel with one from a base-model Taurus SE. Look for them on eBay, or your local junkyard if you are lucky. This does two things to make a cleaner install: first, the bezel from the SE is a little longer, which perfectly fills in the gap. Second, the new bezel gives the console trim pieces (the ones with the trunk button and ignition key hole) the “vertical” slot to mount, instead of the old bezel’s horizontal slots. This eliminates the need to cut out the “cross” as Pete717 had to do in this video. **If anyone decides to go this route, just make sure the fan speed and temp control knobs on the new bezel are identical to your old ones. Some look similar, but they are set up for controlling two-zone temperatures, and the knob on the right will say “PASS TEMP” on it. I don’t think that option would work correctly on a PIS.

I know it's been 2 years since you've done this video, I have a 2015 Interceptor and I want to relocate the shifter. Where can I find info on how to do this.
you need to get center console with shifting handle and mechanism, cables that go to steering column shifter are same cables that should be going to console shifter.
I would love to get an ecoboost FPIS because it's like a SHO but Its about half the price and it's a cop car. It's also got a standard radio and not some fancy infotainment thing that imma get distracted by and wrap my car around a tree.
I'd just do a bench seat up front, nice to have a column shifter most cars no longer give you that option anymore. Yours would be rare then dude! Nice center seat for a hot wife or girlfriend to sit and cuddle with you while driving .
Sorry, they pay for all the work I do making videos, time and effort. Only free is sunshine and love of God, everything else cost money. I used to have them too, but after I started editing, buying equipment and such, I do have all new respect for people who takes time recording and posting.
