Where wires are required to be extended, break
in points should only be at existing connector
points and only Ford approved connectors should
be used.
Ford approved link harnesses should be used.
Unused Connectors
The harnesses may have a number of unused
connectors – these are dedicated to other
features and options, e.g. heated seats, but are
not always present depending on level of
harness fitted. Ford do not recommend the use
of these connectors for any other purpose than
that intended by design.
Power Outlet / Cigar Lighter
Both features adopt a 20A fusing strategy. With
a single battery system, continued loading of
these features will lead to battery drain, and risk
vehicle starting. If continuous power is required,
a second battery option should be installed and
the customer connection points, where fitted,
utilized.
4.14.4 Installation and Routing Guides
Anti-Lock Brake System Wiring Harness Routing
The installation and routing of Ford wiring
(including those provided as part of accessory
kits such as trailer tow) have been fully-validated
and have passed the requisite EMC tests. Ford
Motor Company; however, are not responsible
for the vehicle’s EMC immunity when
non-Ford-approved systems are installed.
WARNING: Do not route other wiring
near/close to electrical cables with
the Antilock Brake System and
Traction Control System cables
because of extraneous signal risk.
It is generally not recommended to
hang it off existing looms or pipes.
Wiring must be suitably fixed without any
detrimental effect on other wiring.
Single or bunched looms must maintain the
following clearances:

Trailer Tow Connectivity - Trailer Tow, 12N & 12S Sockets
DescriptionItem
13N490 HarnessA
TubesX
PinsY
The Ford trailer tow system is designed to
support one primary set of direction indicators
installed on to the trailer (left hand side and right
hand side). If additional direction indicators are
required, for example for tall horse boxes, these
should be driven using separate relays with the
coils being energized via the respective primary
direction indicator feeds, and power to the bulbs
being derived from the KL30 (B+) line.
WARNING: Depending on the
vehicle's lighting configuration, the
Central Junction Box (CJB) will not
support trailer direction indicators
wired directly to the vehicle's
direction indicators. If this is
attempted, the relevant CJB circuits
may shut down or perform illegally.
The Central Junction Box (CJB) does not
support the incremental load of powering side
marker lamps on a trailer, if these are required
they should also be driven using separate relays,
as above.
NOTE: The trailer detect circuit is part of the
Ford Trailer Tow module – it is not implement
able separately – and is only operational on
vehicles fitted with power locking.

harness that provides roof-mounted rear turn
indicators, powered via relays. This should be
used in conjunction with SVO fusebox.
3.Chassis cab LED rear lamp cluster
replacement recommendations, especially
turn indicator relay implications – see lighting
load table. Generally the use of LED equivalent
lighting systems reduces the electrical load on
the vehicle; however, special care needs to
be taken with respect to any change to or
addition of turn indicator lights. Depending on
the current requirements of the LED(s)
compared to the bulb it is replacing, a ballast
resistor may be required, if not already
integrated into the LED lamp assembly.
Without this, bulb outage detection for turn
indicators will be affected, which is a legal
requirement.
Additional turn indicators must be powered
through relays (max 300mA), driven by existing
turn lights. The maximum load that the Central
Junction Box can drive is 3 x 21W per side (front,
rear and CAT 6 turn indicators); but even if the
vehicle is not fitted with the CAT 6 lights, the feeds
for these should not be used as the Central
Junction Box would need reconfiguring, which
could have safety as well as functional
implications.
4.Special Vehicle Option beacon switch: wiring
locations, circuit diagrams and max amperage
– see Special Vehicle Option fuse box
schematic (max current is 15A); there is
provision for the Special Vehicle Option beacon
switch in an empty switch location on the
instrument panel.
5.Rear loom connector detail location and supply
details for retro-fit loom extension for
example:- when extending a medium wheel
base, long wheel base or extended frame
overhang, what connectors do they use to
make a plug and play loom extension? – for
chassis cab vehicles, there is an Special
Vehicle Option extension loom for rear lamps
(part number 6C1V-14408-A*). There is not, at
present, a similar loom for Van, Bus and
Kombi's, although the appropriate mating
connector is now tooled, so this would be
possible.
Miscellaneous Systems
Handbrake on - Cluster Warning Light -
Unless the vehicle is specified with options that
drive the handbrake warning light (for example
ESP, Australia market), the components making
up this system are not fitted. We do not
recommend installation of this feature as an
aftermarket addition. There are several reasons
for this:
1.Not all circuits carry the requisite wire as a give
away:
•The wires might be part of the main vehicle
harness (14401) even if not used – for example
camper vehicles are normally ordered with
power mirrors, and the wires will be present
as a give-away.
•The seat pedestal harness (14K076), however,
is vehicle specific – if the handbrake is not part
of the specification, it will not be present or
give-away. This harness would need to be
changed to the compatible part that also
includes the handbrake warning light circuit.
2.The handbrake switch (part number
2F2T-15852-A*) together with its short jumper
harness (6C1T-15K857-A*) would need to be
obtained and fitted.
3.The handbrake warning light is in all clusters,
but unless the vehicle config. parameter
“parking brake switch” is set, the Central
Junction Box will not read this input, and hence
NO CAN message sent to the cluster.
Reconfiguration can only be done at a Ford
Dealer.
NOTE: If a vehicle already has a handbrake
warning light in the cluster, or one is installed as
per the Ford design, it is not possible to utilize the
wire from the handbrake switch as part of an
interlock circuit (this is a pull up resistor input that
provides a wetting current of 20mA – anything in
excess of this, for example through additional
circuitry, will almost certainly damage the Central
Junction Box). If there is no handbrake switch
installed, it would be possible to add one and
utilize this as part of a separate circuit, up to a
maximum current of 500mA through the switch.
Reverse Sensors (Rear Park Aid
Module)- The factory-fit option is a CAN-based
system, but for Van, Bus, and Kombi vehicles
only. Stand-alone systems can be installed (for
example for chassis cab conversions), but would
need to utilize the PTA line of the radio if muting
is required.
Fuel Fired Heater (FFH)- Add FFH: wiring is
only present (give-away) in certain harnesses.
There was an aftermarket kit available for this
system on current Transit, which could probably
be “updated” to suit V347/8.
Fuel Fired Heater (FFH) - Programmable
FFH: this utilizes a timer/control module mounted
to the Instrument Panel, which necessitates
having the correct Instrument Panel harness
fitted. Retrofit of this would be a difficult.
For both systems, the appropriate 6C1T-14K132
harness would be required (suffix -A* for
Programmable FFH, and suffix –B* for Add FFH).
Central Locking
Locking is controlled by the Central Junction Box
module. There is current sensing on certain
locking circuit pins as part of the security system
– if these are tampered with, locking cannot be
guaranteed.

However, it is possible to add an additional lock(s)
– see also the section covering the ‘third button
on key fob’ – but only by utilizing relays (the
electric locks are operated by surface mounted
relays in the Central Junction Box – these are
only capable of powering one lock each, in
addition to which the output of these devices is
current-sensed to check it is within minimum and
maximum limits: I) to verify operation, and ii) as
part of the security system). For camper vehicles,
the Central Junction Box is configured for a
chassis cab vehicle.
Depending on functionality required, the pins
used will emulate the basic locking/unlocking
operation of an existing door. Note, however,
that any additional locks will not be covered by
the vehicle alarm or operate Central Junction
Box controlled lighting, etc. It would be necessary
to splice into either the Central Junction Box
connector or the in-line connector for the door
jumper harness. The coil of the relay (max.
300mA) should be added across the relevant
pin and ground (i.e. one relay for lock all, one
relay for driver door unlock etc.)
The use of Ford Transit lock mechanisms is
strongly recommended as the Central Junction
Box is designed to drive these latches for the
correct amount of time.

Locking Configurations- The following list
details specific locking scenarios that have been
noted by customers:
1.Raid locking or drive away locking for taxi and
parcel van usage – this is a configurable
parameter in the Central Junction Box (Ford
Dealerships can set this).
2.Slam locking – this is a configurable parameter
in Central Junction Box (marketing want to
sell this as an option, therefore dealerships
can only switch off this feature, but not switch
on).
3.N1 lock reconfiguration into M2 locking, i.e. no
deadlocks – this can be reconfigured to be
central-locking only by a Ford Dealer (via
Dealership hotline).
