2006 FORD TRANSIT wiring

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:

4.14.5 Electrics for Tow bar
Tow bar electrical system may be ordered as a
13-pin DIN connector, as part of the original
vehicle build.
Where it is required to add trailer towing to an
existing vehicle, and to ensure compliance with
lighting regulations, the appropriate wiring
accessory kit can be obtained from your Ford
Dealer. Fitment of non-Ford trailer tow wiring is
not advisable due to Central Junction Box control
of lighting, and meeting legal lighting regulations.
Contact your local Ford dealer for details of a
harness that connects to the base vehicle
harness. All Transits are provided with a basic
trailer tow interface - this connector is located on
the left hand side of the engine compartment
NOTE: For Van tow bars it is necessary to
connect into the rear lamp unit
For information, there is no trailer tell-tale in the
cluster, and if equipped with the Ford Trailer Tow
module, the vehicle’s rear fog lights are disabled
when a trailer is hitched-up.
A 7-pin trailer tow sub-harness is released by SVO
(part number 6C1V-13B576-A*); currently there
is no 7+7 sub-harness available, but figure E84722
is a proposal detailing the connectivity from the
in-line near the rear of the vehicle. The electrical
schematics for the 13-pin trailer tow system form
part of the workshop manual.

4.14.8 Additional Vehicle Signals
/ Features
Reverse Signal
A reverse signal is available on the tail light
connector. In order to avoid electrical issues due
to leakage, and to ensure connector
compatibility, a mating connector with
seals/plugs and pre-crimped wire & terminal
should be used. For Additional information refer
to Adding Connectors, Terminals and Wiring in
this manual.
NOTE: It is not recommended that signal is used
to drive auxiliary equipment directly – a relay (max
300mA) should be used. The existing reverse
light load is close to the threshold and is
hard-wired through the Central Junction Box for
current sensing to generate the appropriate CAN
message.

Third Brake/Stop Light
A signal for a third brake / stop light is also
available on the tail light connector (see Reverse
Signal). It can be used directly to feed an LED
stop light, or a conventional stop light with a bulb
(maximum 21W)*
In order to avoid electrical issues due to leakage,
and to ensure connector compatibility, a mating
connector with seals/plugs and pre-crimped wire
& terminal should be used.
For connectivity, see following Figure E84725,

*If an existing third brake/stop lamp is already
fitted, or if the power exceeds 21W, an
intermediate relay must be used.
For Van, Bus and Kombi, the signal should be
derived from the 6-way connector to the rear
light assembly, pin 4.
Additional Position Lights at the Rear
of the Vehicle
The feed for position lights only at the rear
(bottom / top) can be taken from the licence plate
lighting connectors: left and right. For the correct
pin, please refer to Figure E84727; the maximum
load is 10W per side.
NOTE: Any additional position lights should be
taken from the licence plate lights, and no other
source.
In order to avoid electrical issues due to leakage,
and to ensure connector compatibility, a mating
connector with seals/plugs and pre-crimped wire
& terminal should be used. See Adding
Connectors,Terminals and Wiring.
NOTE: Position lamps (front and rear) only
function with the lighting switch in positions 1 or
2; however, the same bulbs are also used for the
parking lamps. There are two operating modes
for the latter, both with the ignition key removed.
1.Ignition off, master light switch to position ‘P’:
all 4 lamps are on.
2.Ignition off, master light switch off, move turn
indicator stalk to either left or right position (and
leave in): tell-tale and chime will operate briefly
and parking lamps (2) on the side selected will
be on.
The position and parking functions operate
independently.
When the position lights are extinguished, the
side marker and end-outline markers turn off
simultaneously, in line with InterRegs No 48, which
states the following:
5.11 - The electrical connections must be such
that the front and rear position lamps, the
end-outline marker lamps, if they exist, the
side-marker lamps, if they exist, and the rear
registration plate lamp can only be switched on
and off simultaneously. This condition does not
apply when using front and rear position lamps,
as well as side-marker lamps when combined or
reciprocally incorporated with said lamps, as
parking lamps and when side-marker lamps are
permitted to flash.

Licence Plate Lamp Connector
Side (and End Outline) Marker Lights
Side-marker and end-outline lights should be
installed in-line with the relevant vehicle
regulations. Both types of lamp are driven from
the same output on the Central Junction Box
(pin C2-16).
The number of lights per side that can be
supported (without the need for relay-activated
feeds) is typically 4 lights, provided the total load
does not exceed 20W, for example:- a total
additional vehicle load of 40W. There are two
ways to obtain this signal:
1.The chassis cab / cab-van-floor camper
underbody harness (14406) has 2 in-line
breakout connectors – in the middle of the
vehicle and in the area of the rear axle – that
provide feeds to these lights. Each breakout
will support a 10W load, and will connect with
a Ford jumper harness (part number
6C1T-15B484-A*) that provides connectors
to each side of the vehicle for side marker
lights (one harness connects to one left and
one right side marker light, for example:- 5W
per side).
NOTE: These breakout connectors are only
available on cab-van-floor LWB (2 pairs) and
MWB (1 pair) and chassis cab LWB (2 pairs) but
not on chassis cab MWB.
2.Alternatively, and/or in addition to, the feed
for the side-marker and end-outline marker
lights can be taken from the connectors to
the licence plate lights (2-way connector). see
also Adding Connectors, Terminals and Wiring.
NOTE: The feed for side-marker and end-outline
lights must NOT be taken from the position lights
signals. (The Central Junction Box output
provides power for the left and right position
lights, other lights including trailer tow, and will
NOT accept any additional load). The
side-marker and end-outline lights signal must
NOT be used for the roof marker lights.

Roof-Mounted Position Light - Front
The lights operate in conjunction with the normal
position lights, driven by Central Junction Box
outputs (Left Hand: pin C2-28; Right Hand: pin
C2-20).
The roof marker lights are fitted as standard to
chassis cab vehicles, except those ordered for
camper use; on cab-van-floor vehicles, there is
a connector located in the area of the A-pillar
above the sun visor on the left and right hand
sides, that will provide the appropriate signals.
To get access the roof trim needs to be
disassembled. Each connector is capable of
supplying a 5W load.
NOTE: The feed for Roof marker lights must
NOT be taken from the side-marker and
end-outline lights signal.

Fog Light Connector
Connectors are already part of the wiring if the
vehicle is medium or high spec. (for example with
electrical side mirrors). The main light switch will
need to be changed for one that includes this
feature. (There are switches with and without
front fog light function).
Connecting to Lighting - Question
and Answers
1.Chassis cab end outline marker lights,
recommended circuit and max amperage –
see lighting load table. There is NO
Ford-released harness for this, as the
end-outline marker lights normally form part
of the float.
