New 2014 SHO PP owner

The buttons that we all REALLY want!

So... I think these might just be the buttons we all really want for our rides...

Just picked up a 2014 SHO with power package and 6500 miles on it. For the life of me, I cant figure out how to shut off the ESC on this thing. The two buttons under the AC inside the little panel are blank. The only thing in the menu is drivers assist which is pretty much the cross traffic and blind sopt stuff.

There is actually a pretty simple way to **** all driver aids. All you need to do is press and hold the Traction Control button for ten seconds. And then you are all on your own! Melt those tires!!!!!

That's actually the button that's missing on this guy's ride... the TCS/ECS button. (a.k.a. the Warp Drive button )

If the car has adaptive cruise, then it is NOT a PP car.

Granted, but OP stated that the only "assist" features available were BLIS with cross traffic alert, which my PP also has. Sticker says PP, so I'm guessing it's supposed to be PP but the button panel is wrong.

This is what you should see inside of a PP. If you do not see the same thing, there is something not quite right.

This would be for a '13 PP.

The '14 PP no longer has the Park Assist button as you could only pair the 401A package with a PP in '14. In '13 you could pair the 402A package with the PP.

With a NON-PP car, you cannot turn off all of the driver aids. You can only control the TCS and that is done through the menu. With a PP car, you can control TCS, Advancetrac and Stabilitrac and this can be done as described above.

Agreed but the button is not there. Lol. Its blank. Both buttons are blank.

 

[Livernois Motorsports]

Because it is a NON-PP car. That is why the buttons are in-op. Just verified it with FoMoCo customer service. The 2010-2015 PP cars are all the same. If the buttons are blank and the only configurable option within the Driver Info Center is the TCS toggle than it is a NON-PP, according to FoMoCo.

After you take your foot out of your mouth, Not trying to be an ass, but i did post the vin which makes it clear its a 401a with the performance package

My name is Kevin, I am from Ford`s Customer Relationship Center (CRC). I am addressing your inquiry about your 2014 Taurus SHO with missing buttons pertaining to the Power Package.

We have checked the order guide of the vehicle in relation to the options of your own 2014 Taurus SHO. We did verify your vehicle has the options. If your vehicle is missing features as you’re describing this would need to be addressed at the dealer where you bought the vehicle at. It is recommended to speak with your sales person and their manager about this. It would be up to them on how to approach this situation.

Thank you for contacting Ford Motor Company.
Sincerely,
Kevin

Its a PP SHO, verified through the vin. dealer has the center console apart and all the wiring and pins are there for the swicth. They are waiting for ford to contact them to make sure they can just drop in a switch or if the car will need reprogramming work too.
There are no advance track or traction options in the on screen menu either

I'm glad you're finally getting some progress on your issue. Hopefully your down time will be minimal. I would definitely try and get some free full synthetic oil changes out of the deal!!

:sun:

 

[Calgary]

what a unexpected headache. What a waste of your time you should be able to bring to any dealer and just treat it like warranty work.

 

[Screaming01l]

3 to 5 days wait I was told for a ford engineer or whatever to give them direction or the go ahead. I should just order a switch install it and see what happens. Lol. I took the car home for the weekend.

 

[SHOdded]

Home, even with the center console guts spilled out? :woo-hoo:

 

[Screaming01l]

They put it back together . I cant push them to ******* the time because I didnt buy it from them and it was pre owned. Got it with 6500 miles on it but saved 14k off the sticker.

 

[rcryniak]

Pre-owned? I'm awful surprised the last owner didn't address the issue. But then, maybe that's why YOU have the car now instead of him/her. With only 6,500 miles on it, that could be why. If so, you got seriously lucky.

...I got mine pre-owned too... always wondered why the previous owner sold it. (I mean, come on, why would anyone sell their BABY?!? )

 

[2011TAURUSSEL]

6500 miles? Certified Pre Owned (CPO) or Dealer Demo? Either way sounds like back to original dealer and trace the trail.

So... I think these might just be the buttons we all really want for our rides...

Ha! Now that's funny.

I also desire the cloaking button..... where you think we can install that?
