Lots of the time, if there's no buttons, it's not there. A Crown Vic with TC has a different ABS module. And in order to have adjustable pedals... The hardware has to be installed. All crown vics came with the wiring harnesses installed, but not always with the hardware to make it. Just like all police models have wires for a powered drivers seat, but not always came with a powered drivers seat.
@@KyleEllis1989 Would be cool if it did work! But if it was as true as just adding a button, TC would be on by default. And it's very easy to notice that these don't have cruise control. 😂
Yep sadly I know just about everything there is to a cvpi(10+yrs). I find the vids entertaining to say the least. I have a black 03 model with a feature that I’ve yet to see on any other. I’ve checked out hundreds maybe thousands. I didn’t know it was there until months later. I won’t say what it is until Mr Random or someone else mentions it. But it does come in handy in a jam.
@@Vank508 Did you know on some Vics the trunk release button in the door works when the power is off, but the dash trunk button only works when the car is on?...
Most municipalities leave the siren/megaphone on and just disable it, as it’s not worth the effort to remove them. Lesser known is A LOT of them still have the strobes in the factory lights, you just need the right relay and a new switch to reactivate them.
1. I was wondering what that thing did when I took that panel off for my 2001. I took that panel off to run my horn stance the department disabled it. I had no idea I could just put a button to have traction control. 2. I did know about the trunk button and if you take the door panel off there might be a wire there to hook up the trunk so then you can have two trunk release buttons. I put it on mine. 3. For the gas release what's great about having that is when your button breaks you have a way to put gas in your Crown Vic. Mine was broken and then when I replaced it that's how I discovered the trunk wire. 4. And I know some people have problems with their dome light coming on. From what I've looked up it's called Dark mode and you look underneath the glove box and there should be two wires disconnected I believe.
I was wondering on my 08 Crown Victoria If I hook up the switch for Traction control, does the light stay on? On the switch? Or will something indicate on the dash that it's on. Will the car act different ? I don't even know if it has it
This is the 1st video of yours that I've seen. Pretty good guys. 😎👍 One more hidden secret that I don't know if you've covered yet is that on the ex cop cars there...the wheel rims are made of thicker steel and they are a lot more heavy duty than the thinner less durable run of the mill ones. I learned this from a cop. Pretty kewl "secret" huh?!? He said that they are made that way so that when they do a pit maneuver or have to side swipe someone, that the rims will stay functional (not bending up and getting tilt to them) and safer for the driver to continue driving whereas non cop Vic's don't have that going on unless someone slaps some of those bad boys on their car.
I got a panel for my 2010 P7B that has the traction control switch and my harness on the car has only 5 wires while the switch has 6 and it doesn’t do anything for me. The switch lights up to show it has power on startup but won’t turn it on or off
Dont believe crown Victoria's have traction control, but some do have cruise control, if you're referring to that you will also need the steering wheel that has the buttons, as well needing ford program it.
Not all crownvic police have those pockets on the seats. I own a 2011 and those things he mention is not on my car. All those things he said he probably installed after market. The siren he said probably fid come with the car cause mine came with the blue lights in the head lights and siren.
I guess I got lucky because of my 2004 the traction control button is present guess I got even luckier because the second trunk button is actually visible but doesn't come with any fuel door button
I have an 02 crown vic, in the video u mentioned trunk button on dash board., pop the whole panel back and you should have a wire next your trunk button. This is also a trunk release button but without the need for a key
In my 2000 detective's car the trunk button in the door works even when the car was not on... I think it was special feature for certain P71's. Every other Vic I've had you have to turn on the car to have the trunk button work.
Hey MR Random I have a question. ? My 2010 crown Vic has the brake pedal adjustment and I took trim off and has wires running to traction control female plug snapped into holder on back of trim . Here goes my question .if I buy the switch n cut out trim for it it should work right? Can it damage anything ? I'm not sure how to use it ?thanks
I have a 2010 interceptor I have so many horns on it I would love to hook mine back up mine came from Virginia Beach Virginia love my car 170 5000 you would never know
This is pre 06 mostly. I have an 09 and it doesn’t have most of this. 04, 05, and 06 the p71s went through a lot of small revisions and changes to be a little more dependable and Police orientated because they were on the way out as civilian cars. Once the government kept the panther platform alive it became a fleet only vehicle and that’s when the car really reflected.
I believe those seat pockets were only made in LX model seats... Christ, people interchange seats in Vics all the time. EVERY Crown Vic at Pick N Pull I go to has different seats than the originals.
Because if they dont have the button most of then they dont have adding the button will do nothing, if it didnt come with it you will need to add tc abs module master cylinder and program it
Federal Smart Siren SM control head has that set to broadcast your radio or use as a PA. You had to have the Amplifier section send the signal back to the loud speaker and a voltage of 24 volts to control it. The system is usually in a roll shelf in the trunk that pulls out that has the amplifier, power booster, some fuse blocks and this runs back to the control head mounted in the center console which controls lighting, sirens and is programmable.
great channel,, maybe you can help, i got 2011 p71, got hold of a keyless entry remote ford,,, how do i program it to the car,, tried the 7 turns forward and nothing,,, i know ford trucks will work that way,,,
@@greendayyylmao3427 1. Cheap 2. Easy to work on 3. I've had to drive rwd before In snow, not as bad as everyone thinks, just get some sandbags for the trunk 🤷 4. Already came with snow tires due to it being a CVPI
Most of this doesn't need explaining. Not because everyone knows this stuff already, but because it's in the owner's manual. The "deleted features" bit is literally common with all vehicles. ALL VEHICLES.
I would like to ask if anyone knows about the switch needed for to activate the ETC. I did take off that piece of panel on the dash of my 2006 and saw the car has the two elect. connectors. But what do I do about a switch.?I tried eBay but all I found were advertisements for some adaptor thing for the switch, not the switch. Suppose I got a toggle switch and duct-taped it on then I could make the connection there work. But a mechanic told me not to mess around like that because it might blow the computer out.
The traction control requires a little more then just that panel with the button, if it did not have it from factory you will have to swap the abs module and master cylinder from a car with traction control and have it program by Ford via IDS
Adjustable pedals, all crown Victorias have the wiring but most dont have the adjustable pedal system but its easy as just swapping in adjustable pedals in there for the traction control you need the correct steering wheel with button and have ford enable it via ford ids.
Here some of things I've found out 2005-2007 you can have keyless entry but first checking for driver door module in the driver door, all you need to do is add the antenna grabbing one out of an 08+ and activate it on forscan Forscan allows you to turn off dark mode, as well as add keyless entry. For the buttons and the forscan software it cames out to under 30 for keyless entry Second in some crown victoria if you want to add stuff theres a second power source on the passenger side trunk remove the felt. Remove taillights to sometimes find unremoved strobe bulbs Sometimes under the hood you will find disconnected headlight flashers Some crown victoria have switches under the dash to disable brake lights.
@@mooreaj hi if your crown Victoria is an 06+ and you have the module all you will need is the antenna. You can pick them out of the c piller on the passenger side of any 08+ just plug it into the right side of module. Enable it via for scan, then get a key fob or two turn the crown vic from off to acessories. 8 types you will hear the system unlock then press any key on the fob, and you should hear it click again.

Just a tip to the viewers, don't actually tug off your grill, make sure you don't have the 3 bolts holding it on the top and then tug
Any of your P71 have a red button driver side dash. That left your vehicle running while your out?
Mine does, now I know what it does. Will test it to see it that is what it does,
