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.

4.12 Interior Lighting
4.12.1 Additional Internal Lamps
Additional cabin interior lighting may be obtained
by directly accessing the connector inside the
dome lamp in the cab.
Additional load space interior lighting may be
obtained by directly accessing the connector
inside the load space lamps in the load space
area.
CAUTION: The maximum total
internal lamp load must not exceed
5A (75W)
Power for the Interior Lights - cabin and
cargo areas – comes from the battery save
system (Central Junction Box pin C2-31), and for
vehicles with power locking,* the circuit for each
area is controlled by a separate pin on the Central
Junction Box:
•Front (cabin) lights, pin C2-22
•Rear (cargo) lights, pin C2-27 wire not present
on chassis cab and cab-van-floor vehicles
* with manual locking vehicles, control of interior
lighting is done directly through the door contact
switches. All vehicles, however, utilise the battery
saver relay to provide power for internal lighting
for a limited time.
Each of these pins on the Central Junction Box
can take a load of 75W. Lights that are controlled
by the battery save circuit will extinguish 30 to
180 minutes after ignition off (dependent on
vehicle configuration).
4.12.2 Additional 'Theatre
Lighting' for rear of vehicle
interior
For chassis cab or cab-van floor (and camper)
vehicles, rear lighting is not utilised and so there
is no wire to pin C2-27. However, converters can
add their own lights (up to the max. load) via the
battery save or a separate switchable feed, by
adding a pre-crimped wire and terminal to
connector C2. This is located on the Central
Junction Box behind the glove box on the
passenger side (please refer to Figures E84705
and E84712).
Refer to: 4.14 Special Conversions (page 131).
(Adding connectors, Terminals and Wiring)
Where higher wattage installations are required,
these should be taken through the Auxiliary Fuse
Box with a suitable switch and / or relay as
required.
Refer to: 4.13 Fuses and Relays (page 119).
