Does your carpeting have holes cut or drilled in it from previously installed equipment?

Aftermarket radio installation

Article has radio related wiring color codes, electrical connector pinouts, and other useful information for anyone considering upgrading the stereo in a 1995 or later crown victoria. Note: This article does not deal with ford "premium sound" setups.

Aftermarket DEI530T window module

Many cars now on the market have an auto-down feature on the drivers window. Quickly tap the window button once and release and the window will roll fully down. Article explains in detail howto install an aftermarket window module that will give the front driver and passenger side windows auto-down and auto-up.

Lighted Door Switch Modification

Did you know that the power door lock and window switches in 1995 and later crownvic police interceptors have LEDs inside them to light the white portion of the switch at night to make it easier to see?

Alarm with remote start and keyless entry

Tired of stepping into a steaming hot car in the summer and a freezing cold one in the winter? Want to add the security of a alarm or the convience of a keyless entry system to your crown vic?

Remote Start Blend Door Modification

Being able to start your crown vic's engine by remote control during the cold winter months and hot summer months is convienent. But do you sometimes forget to turn the temperature knob to the full hot or full cold position prior to exiting the car?

Rear Door Rod Installation

Many police interceptors were ordered from the ford with the interior door handle and lock buttons inoperative, since it is undesirable for prisoners to be able to escape from the rear seat. Initially, many people fiddle with the "child safety switch". But after removing the interior door panel, it becomes apparent that the rods that connect the handle to the latch just aren't there. A kit containing the rods and rivets is shipped from factory in a plastic bag in the trunk, but this kit is often lost before being given to the new owner.

Delayed Accessory Modification


Do you want to listen to the radio and adjust the power windows after you remove the keys from the ignition?

Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC) Retrofit


Documents the process of converting a crown victoria with the old school manual knob climate control system into one that automatically adjusts the blower speed and vent discharge temperature to maintain the interior cabin temperature at the desired setting. This option is strangely addictive in the sense that it's likely something you think that you don't need. But once you have owned a vehicle with the automatic temperature control, you'll want your next vehicle to have the feature too. This article also contains wiring diagrams, pictures of parts, and operation theory that would be useful to someone with a malfunctioning air conditioning or heating system in their ford vehicle.

Power Adjustable Pedal Retrofit

Would you like to be able to move the brake and accelerator pedals a few inches closer to the drivers seat?

P71 Suspension Spring Selection Guide


Is your police interceptor riding too low in the rear? Want to get rid of the soft floaty feel to your civilian vics suspension and install some firm sporty springs instead? Tired of troubleshooting the air suspension system in your civilian crownvic?

Factory cruise control

All civilian crown vics had cruise control as a standard feature in 1998. On 98' crown vic police interceptor and taxi packages, cruise control was optional. Article is relevant to anyone with a mid-1992 or later crown victoria. 1992 was the transition year, early 1992 crown vics with the AOD transmission still had the vacuum based cruise servo setup that was in use on crown vics since the mid 1980's. Mid-1992 crown vics that had the electronic AODE transmission also got the new electronic based cruise servo setup.

Ford IDS Scantool Screenshots

Are you wondering how to enable domelights in your 2006+ crown vic? or how to enable speed control in the powertrain control module of your drive-by-wire electronic throttle control 2005+ crown victoria?

GenII taurus SHO console

Bucket seats were standard in police cruisers, split bench was an extra cost option in the police package. Police departments need the large open area between the two front seats to mount radios and other equipment. Driving around without anything to rest my right arm on felt awkward, so i grabbed a center console out of a GenII ford taurus SHO. SHO console has a very integrated look with the crown vic interior, and is a good choice if you don't want console made for mounting police radios.

AutoLamp Retrofit

Civilian crown vics have a feature called autolamps that automatically turns on the headlamps when it gets dark. Also included is a feature called delayed exit that leaves the headlamps on for a short adjustable period after turning the engine off. Recent police crown vics do not have this feature, but it can be added. Automatic headlamps are strangely addictive in the sense that one typically does not think that they'll use the feature much at all. But once you've owned a car with autolamps, you don't want another car without the feature.

Gentex autodimming rearview mirror with compass and thermometer

Is a nice feature not to be blinded by bright headlight glare while driving at night. Compass is useful for making decisions of which roads to take when driving in unfamilar areas. Note: electrochromic mirrors appear to be incompatible with aftermarket window tinting.

Lighting Control Module

Majority of the interior and exterior lighting on 1995 and later crown vics is computer controlled. This article has some pictures of the internal circuitry that controls the lighting and some other useful information.

"Dark Car" Mode

Have you just bought a police interceptor from auction and want the interior lights to turn on when you open the door?

Fast Flash Rate Turn Signal Issue

Are the turn signals on your 1998-2000 crown victoria sporadically flashing too fast?

Waterpump and idler pulley replacement


Waterpump replacement is a very easy job on 1992 and later crown vics, should take less than two hours even for the backyard mechanic.

Heated Seat Retrofit


Just like the name implies, this article contains information about adding heating elements to the drivers seat of a 1998 police interceptor. Installation is entirely concealed and is not visible to the vehicle operator except for the addition of the control switch. This article also contains pictures of the drivers seat in various stages of disassembly and would potentially be useful to someone interested in repairing damage to their police interceptor's seat such as tears in the upholstery and worn padding.

Windshield Wiper Activated Headlamps
