Thanks for pointing me in the right direction OC Mike and tvsjr. I have to figure out if I will do the whole dash harness swap or splice into both console and column or buy a new console. Thanks and I will keep you posted on my project.
Do you have which wire you tapped into on the column and the console?Colors?

Its not really complex. There are two wires for the mode switch and three for +/- shift one of those are a common, you can see them on connector from my picture of the column shifter above.
The other connector is for the shift logic. There is switch on the shifter that engages when the shifter is pulled towards the driver when the key is in the on position. This activates the solenoid on the shifter which allows it to move. The equivalent to that on the floor shift is the button on the forward part of the shift lever that has both a mechanical and electrical lockout same as the column shift.

Left my 502a lariat at dealership for minor repairs the loaner was a column shift 18 with the console. Hand found the shifter OK truck moved when put in gear and liked the idea of more console room minus the shift handle. Install a console yes go for it, relocate shifter na it ain't worth the trouble.

2018 F150 column shift to floor shift
I am about to change my 2018 F150 XLT from a Column shift and jump seat to a floor shift and counsel. I bought a counsel from a 2018 Platinum that has the shifter, cable, and wire harness. Do I need to change the mounting brackets? or will the seat brackets work? Thanks for you write up on this conversion, If you can think of anything else I might to know to complete this project please let me know.
Thanks again,
Patrick

The seat brackets & console brackets are the exact same, so you're good to go with that.
