I’m making a lot of changes to my car currently, and since i’m pulling it apart, adding in sync 3 (Which i just completed today) I was wondering if there was a way to install a TCU and a modem into my car, and gain access to ford pass? Currently my car doesn’t have one at all. So i know this is gonna be a project.
You can. You may want to find a Fusion forum for instructions on how to do this.
I’m currently asking in the fordfusion reddit, and ford reddit. But have no answers yet.
I’m currently looking at this tcu, but not sure if it would fit properly.
And i’m trying to figure out where exactly i would plug it in at. Since my cars a 2014, it doesn’t have a TCU right now. So i think i’d probably need to run a new harness? I have no idea where i would wire it into.
Check 2gfusions.net and also read F150Chief’s doc.
There’s a guy on there by the handle of RobToledo that always swung for the fences with his mods so he may have things in his build thread. Since you have a Ti you should be able to tap into the DSP for the HS3 bus, there’s also a guy (TXFRDOwner) on there that sells pre-made harnesses for everything from adding a heated steering wheel to adding a TCU.
Off the get go, look at the F150 forums for the original threads since the F150 is VERY close to the Fusion logic.
Since you don’t indicate that you have a Hybrid or Energi you should pretty much be able to use a JL3T series from an F150, H series if you go that way you won’t get the TPMS and you’d want to use the AB from a 2017 Fusion Platinum (non-hybrid).
I’ve done this on a 2014 SE Hybrid and a couple of 2015 conventional Ti(s), ignore anything you see about the beige antenna connector on the TCU being for a WiFi antenna. If you leave it open or don’t hang a true Ford PIFA antenna off it you’ll get DTCs on the TCU for an open antenna port.

I’ll take a look around to see what i can do. I do not have a hybrid, it’s just a 2014 fusion titanium 2.0L EcoBoost,
As I said you should be able to get really close with almost no mods just using a J series from an F150, (there’s no J series for a Hybrid/PHEV) so a JL3T should work.
If you go with an H series pull the AB from a non-Hybrid 2017/2018 Fusion Platinum.
Hi I have a 2016 fusion and all I have left is to figure out how to wire the wpt 242 wire how do I get a wire to turn it on
You want constant 12V power, not key power. Battery, fuse box, or to a module that is always on.
Hello I have a JL3T - 14G087 - CF and I bought the wiring harness the the guy sells on here I have a 2016 fusion se can I make this work ?
Maybe you should direct the question to that individual…

I’m still looking into doing all of this myself. I have all the parts except for the harness.
I have the HJ5T-14G087-UF (TCU-B1)
And an Antenna for it.
I have not got a harness yet.
Life got in the way and i forgot about it for a while. But i saw all the emails, so i pulled out the trunk and don’t see a hook in for it, so i need to figure out what kind of harness and how to wire it in.
You will never find a plug for a TCU until 2017. Ford did not use TCU’s until than and very rarely in 2016. The TCU only needs 4 wires, Constant power, Ground and an HS3 connection. If you do this yourself than make sure the HS3 can wires are twisted.
I would guess a simple harness for this is stupid expensive.
I have a 2014, but i have a sync 3 APIM.
I just picked up a Molex MX150 Wire Connector Harley Waterproof 6" Pigtail Assembled with CPA with a 12 pin connector, and i’m thinking of running wires up to the back of the APIM.
Yes I know you have a 2014 with retrofit Sync 3.
If you run wires to that back of the APIM you doing WAY to much work. If you have the Sony system it has HS3 wires going to the DSP so get your can bus there and it is right on the other side of the trunk. Ground you can get at the nearest grounding point. Your BCM is to old to have the pin for the TCU so just find the nearest constant power and use that. The DSP would work fine for that also.
Does this website still exist? It always shows a 404 or other error trying to access it.
I just tried, and mine errors out with “to many redirects”
I’ll definitely try that one, that would save a lot of headache.
its http://2gfusions.net not https.
As far as the pigtail, you can pull one from an 2013-2016 MKZ Reserve or a Fusion Energi.
The MKZ is in the left rear side of the trunk, the Energi is under the parcel shelf.
In both Edge and Safari it comes up with a broken HTML format. Someone needs to update their website to comply with HTML5 browsers, which is all of them now…
