Well guys and gals. I have decided that i'm going to convert my 2014 Ford Focus Titanium to the face lifted 2015-2018 model year so that i can have all the goody options. [:0] I bought my car last year thinking the 2014 was the face lift year and that it had more options that can be added to it. Well i should have done my research before i bought it cause the person that told me the 14 was the turn over year was wrong. So instead of just selling my 2014 and loosing a ton of money on it, i made the big decision that i will just make a 2015 out of my car. 100% with no 2014 parts in it at all. I have about completed getting everything needed to start my project. I have the engine computer, with the engine bay wiring harness, dash wiring harness, complete inside wiring harness from the dash to the rear hatch, i have the front bumper, head lights, and hood for the front, i have the other rear bumper cover that has no holes for the parking assist sensors because i will need to install 4 sensors instead of the 3 my car has now. So i will be drilling out the holes in the front and rear bumpers to mount the new sensors. All the wiring i bought is for the tech pak and the complete parking assist options as well as the rain sensing system too. I bought an ABS module, Body Control Module, Sync 3 with Nav module, RFA module, Imaging processing module, Climate control module, instrument cluster, that will have my current mileage on it, front interface module, audio control module, complete console out of a 2017 Titanium, both front door wiring harnesses and the door modules that go with them, key less entry keypad for the door, sunroof motor module, over head console complete with ambient light module, both front door panels, both front seats and the parking aid module for the full park assist feature. And a few other odds and ends. I need the blind spot monitoring modules for both sides and the mirrors yet and front heated windshield for the lane keeping assist. I also got the heated steering wheel with paddle shifters on it and the steering angle sensor module and the turn signal lever that has the power switch to activate the lane keeping with cross traffic alert system as well as the auto wiper system lever.
So i will keep you guys in the loop as i get ready to fire up the car once everything is installed and ready to go. Now once i get ready to start the car, i will have to download the as built data from a vin car that has all these options so i can upload and program all modules to run together just as in the donor cars the parts came out of. Most all used stuff i bought came from 2015 and 2016 cars for the exception of the center console. That was out of a 2017. Now keep in mind when i told the Ford service guy that i was doing this at my local dealer he says there is no way that is going to work. Well, i personally don't see how not. Everything is going to be from 2015-2017 cars. All the parts work together in those cars, so why not my car. the only thing that will be 2014 will just be the rolling chassis. That's it. Well and the motor and trans will be in it. Those are the same as the 2015 so nothing has to change there. So i will prove to the Ford guy after i'm all done and driving the car that it can and will be done.[headbang]
So if you guys have any questions for me if you want to attempt to make your car better than the one you have now or just add any options to your current setup, just ask me i can help. I guess you can say i'm certified in Ford wiring and there systems.[
