4.3 Charging System
4.3.1 General Information and
Specific Warnings
The Transit electrical system is a 12-Volt supply
with a negative earth return. The alternator and
battery equipment used as standard are
designed for normal operations with the type of
engine fitted. Higher capacity batteries are
available as standard production options and
special vehicle options. Before installing additional
electrical equipment check that the battery
capacity, harness load capability, and alternator
output are suitable for the extra load.
The battery capacity and charge available from
the alternator must be adequate to ensure
engine cranking in unfavorable climatic conditions
but excessive battery capacity could damage
the starter motor.
The Transit utilizes multiplexed vehicle electronics
- it is recommended that the appropriate Ford
proprietary accessory systems are used.
Inappropriate or incorrect connection of
additional equipment could cause mis-operation,
or damage to the vehicle, and so invalidate any
warranty.
Additional connection points are provided
specifically for customer use (except M1 and M2
Bus), and are located on the outside of the
driver's seat base.
Do not jump-start the vehicle directly from the
battery. Use designated jump-start points. Refer
to the owners literature.
4.3.2 Power Management
Settings
There are four Power Management Settings
available:
•Factory
•Transport
•Normal
•Crash
Factory and Transport modes are only active
with ignition off; with ignition on, the vehicle
operates with full functionality. When in Transport
mode, the interior lights, clocks, and power
locking and alarms (where fitted) do not work.
It is possible to switch from Transport Mode to
Normal Mode without the use of any ancillary
equipment, but not vice versa. To change mode,
the brake pedal must be depressed five times,
and the hazard warning switch operated twice
(in any combination) within 10 seconds.
WARNING: It is not possible to return
the transport setting without using
the vehicle's diagnostics.
At the end of production, the vehicle is
configured to the transport setting to minimize
power consumption. As part of the Pre Delivery
Inspection process at the Ford dealership, the
vehicle is reconfigured to normal operation.
4.3.3 Electrical Conversions
Operator requirements for additional and
specialised electrical equipment varies. The
vehicle converter/modifier must, therefore,
consider the following points when designing the
installation:
•Legality and regulatory conformity of the base
vehicle.
•Drive-ability and serviceability of the base
vehicle.
•The effect of regulations governing the
proposed conversion including National
Legislation in the country of sale.
•The method of integrating the circuit into the
base vehicle.
•No additional circuits are to be run alongside
the electrical circuits (shown in blue in the
figure below) associated with the
Management System (shown in green in the
figure below), due to the possible Electro
Motive Force (EMF) effect on the circuits.

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:

4.14.8 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.

*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.
