- 2017 Ford Transit custom Dodgy Drivers Door Wiring.
Highlighting a wiring problem on ford transit vans which is already a common fault..... wires breaking between the drivers door and the "A" pillar.
Dude, you are the Man!!
Thank you for your great video. After a couple of things failed I needed to get a new loom which I just fitted in no time thanks to your info. All working again and now I can lock the front doors again. Once again many thanks Top Man!!!
thanks for your comment electrical rescue, have a good one
Thanks for this video. It was a great help for me diagnosing a fault on our Tourneo Custom. The driver's door began to show as 'open' when closed. The loom was breaking near the taped part and a new one, which i fitted yesterday, has made us happy again.
Glad it helped
Fixed mine today 2016, same issue had no need to remove the whole loom from the door just accessed through speaker and repaired it in situ with crimp, your video helped Thanks
Massive thanks for this. Windows were the first thing on mine to go. Tried a new switch unit in the hope it was that and not the loom. It's the loom. Just ordered replacement. As others have said - really difficult to get hold of it's that common a fault. Used would be too risky even if I could find one. Opted for new from a dealer £120.
at least they are pretty straight forward to fit, good luck
Absolutely brilliant video, helped so much in changing my wiring loom, my warning light is now off & bonus my electric folding mirrors that haven't work for years suddenly came back to life, you're a diamond geezer!!! Thanks matey
Glad it helped
thanks for this.. only speaker is acting up but I assumed more will break and by the looks of your video i was super right. hard to find other than at dealer and some Ford parts sellers in the USA. nothing on ebay or Amazon FYI for others looking
chances are the wires have broken in a part of the loom you can't repair either.....back when I replaced that loom it took a while to get a new one due to factory order
Great video and very useful, fixed my van today and couldn't of done it without your help 👍
I have an issue when I turn at full lock right, the passenger door warning pops up for a second or too. Going to get the wiring loom out at the weekend and hope that I can repair it before the wire completely breaks! Thanks for the video Alan
Great.. no bullshit, no mind bending shite music, just a thorough description of the problem and how to solve it.... Love it !1
thanks... 😜
@@alan4x Thanks for this video, helped me out no end. Cured the issue too. I managed to solder one broken wired and repaired three more that were about to let go. I removed the sticky cloth tape thereby giving the loom more scope to flex. All to the good. Thanks again
Your transit has the ford panther engine which i build at work 👍
No more PSA lumps
thats interesting ... i will be asking you questions soon lol
That panther engine is total pants
@@stevexb12ss hit and miss. some owners had their engine pop at like 50k miles, some seem to last normal times.
A customer came to our workshop as the light's on trailer he hired from us didn't work on his new transit but did on his other old one
So we said it must be the new transit, could we have a look as Ford are busy till next week
Bloody hell man .... How many fuse boxes and a special tool required for slow blow ones
Cannot wait for your fuse video and how to access drivers side top side ones
What a nightmare just for a trailer socket fuse and the horror stories of what it could be if it ain't the fuse
Dagenham dustbins just chuck the whole lot in the nearest skip
yeah i am praying i don't have wiring nightmares on these ticking time bombs ...its all getting too far advanced for most of us to understand lol
Thanks for the video! Exactly what I needed !
Very good video clear instructions will help a lot of people knowing now how common this will be.I don’t own a transit but if I ever do I will be cautious the electrics a bit piss poor on ford there
cheers lol
Very informative mate nice video.
I've got a custom that the driver window switch has failed might check that loom out tomorrow cheers.
Love you videos and the humour . They are also very informative to the unown in vehicle that are new .Love your mondeo videos for the mk5.
thanks
Being a ex ford commercial tech it is made out to be such a difficult job to remove that door card. It’s five mins to remove. Five to put in new loom and five to refit.
Absolutely right Alan cheap thin non coloured wire is corner sadly is seen cut in alot of modern vehicles today.
Keep an eye out for the steering hose chaffing/leaking hydraulic fluid issue, AA guy said it was common
Guys, just make sure you don't prise the door switched out first as the tab can break, if you are taking the door panel off anyway then just unplug the wiring loom from the switches once the panel is off. That switch panel is designed to be taken off after the door panel is removed, not before.
There is a screw underneath the switch unit. It needs to be lifted out to access it and the panel won't come off until it has been removed. (UK Tourneo Custom 2015 build)
Alan I have a 2017 transit and I says the drivers door is open even tho it is shut, would that be on that same wiring loom as there is no button inside the door to push to see if the message disappears?
Grear video..my custom suffering the same 🤬
cheers, you can at least get a new loom for your door
not under any warranty then?
Bloody hell Alan, thanks for the video!! 😃
Great video I would not know that if I don’t see it thanks mate Power folding mirrors both stop working on ford transit custom 2017 Ford Diagnosed were both mirrors faulty to replace total price £750
I have paid they repair all work well came home Wiring loom which is connected door to van was unattached (flxi Rubber tube) I can see they link most of wire make work and put insulation tape I wondered how both mirrors can go pop same time had this van for year had lots of problems
sounds like the diagnosed the mirrors incorrectly and then found it to be the wiring and tried to repair it, thats a big bill for a wiring repair
@@alan4x lol Well train own manufacturer Enginer diagnosed fee £138 + both new mirrors £750 we trust the label finger get burned
I have 4 wires broke and cant get a replacement for 3 weeks. Is there any way to work out what wires join together for a temp fix?
Cheers for the info Alan.
Its a shame that vehicles are all built to a budget. Ford like many other companies could easily make a vehicle that lasts and is easy to work on, i did hear once that ford make more money from spares than actually selling cars.
Any colour as long as it's black 😀. I noticed all the wires (quite a thin gauge) were black going to the hatch lock on my 2009 Mondeo. I'd assumed it was a choice for security but may it was them just being cheap.
I believe it was for security purposes.
Haha. The more I watch your videos the less I want a new car! Seems to me as we go along things get cheaper and cheaper made so manufacturers can make things we can afford and they can still make a profit. This is not limited to cars; any consumer goods. If you have something old, reliable and reasonably economical; keep it for as long as you; and this is not just for vehicles! Btw we love your humour!
cheers.... i wish i still had my mk 3 cortina
@@alan4x lol i used 2 have mk 5 cortina 20l pinto engine bloody bulit proof go for ever
All new vehicles are made to look nice and flashy with all this technology fitted but underneath there a pile of cheap shit I wouldn’t buy a new vehicle nowadays nothing but trouble
Thanks for the video, I am trying to fix the window switch, I think I now know what the problem is 🤬
Excellent Video.
Thanks very much for this video. I'm having a similar problem. So is it called the driver's side door loom
Yes, it is
Hello, this video was very helpful , I do have a question though because Ford is being no help, I need the harness that the connects to the loom , into under the dash? I hope this makes sense
Great video, and helpful
Great video Alan.......👍🏻 Loving your show me how TH-cam videos Cheers Stevie 😆
Well explaned
thanks leigh
Good video straight to it ..... just to add if you open these doors on a windy day the door/support will bend out of shape it does not take much to trash these, i had mine repaired at £300 but should have taken it back to Fords as this is another poor design fault and simply should not happen
Helpful I found 1 wire broken fix it but Driver door still nw
update Ford Uk will NOT refund wiring loom cost (£100) as it was not fitted by a "specialist Ford dealer" although they have offered a free service - hahah My breakdown & service van is most definately overserviced by myself as I change the oil approximately 5000 miles as I`m in the trade- Told Ford UK to shove their offer where the sun dont shine and I`m going to VW next year
The wires are all black just on door looms to stop attempted break ins by shorting/ powering door lock solenoid wires. Thieves cant easily identify central locking wires if they are all black. Thats my understanding.
Hi Alan I have sort of the same issue just wanted to pick your brains. My windows don't work there is power going to both switches drivers and passengers. Heres where it gets strange, when I try the drivers window the wing mirror repeater flashes. When I try the passengers switch on the drivers door the repeater stays on. Same when I try the passenger side switch. Now just to make this even stranger when I try the heated windscreen the repeater comes on again. Could this be all related to the drivers door loom.
Many thanks for your help Andy
Thanks for this. I've had a squeaky right speaker and a broken window switch on the driver's side. I bought a new switch and fuse. This issue is probably related isn't it? I need to take the door off, follow the wires and solve a bigger wiring problem? Oooooww
if all your issues are in one door then chances are its the loom and as all the wires are black its easier to just fit a new loom
Great video Alan 👍 I wondered about the black wires with paint dashes and if they are marked at both ends, so I know which to re-solder which to?
yes i sure they are marked at both ends but its a pain
anyone have a link or part number to the loom/wiring harness
Great video Alan I have a 2020 eco blue Limited Transit for Truck, Van & Car repair business- yeh just after New Year I`m finishing a breakdown in the snow in the north west and window wont go up or door lock.vans full of tool & equipment- I`m thinking WTF !
Its barely 12 months old with 9000 on the clock -definitely a warranty job- Ford Transit Centre are shut cos of covid- same fault- multi plug full of blue gunk and snapped/corroded missing connecting pins- cost me £100 for door loom to secure my vehicle- did job myself-emailed ford uk to ask for cost of loom to be refunded-let you know how I get on
hope you get compensation...its just cheap wiring they are using to cut costs
Hey Alan, can you make a video or respond to me if you have the time? Is a mondeo mk4 with a petrol engine (1.8 or 2.0) way better than the diesel ones? And are they made by Ford?
hi, i never had any dealings with a petrol engine in a mk4 but from what i have heard of other people who do they are very good and pretty sure they are ford engines
Late reply but they are Mazda L series engines and are much more reliable than the Peugeot Diesel engines, and have no known red flags on the mk4.
mate, im going crazy here in oz tonight. I locked the doors on my 2001 transit crew cab trayback this afternoon and now i cant get back in..I've managed to get a window down and climb inside to remove the door trim but even though i can move the handle and lock mechanisms from inside i still cant open any doors. I think the locking solenoids are deadlocking them but i cant figure how to either manually or electronically overide them..i cant find the said fuses tied to the steering column either..im in aust and its right hand drive but i cant find any fuses that might be the ones on the other side either..man its doing my head in and a new owner is coming iun 3 days time to pick it up and murphys law has bit me good. Any suggestions greatfully appreciated
Great vid i was wondering if you had any problems with rear camera's mine goes blue on the mirror in the cab ?
hi have you had a front camera fault on a transit custom ? it brings on abs,, t/c, airbag lights and the speedo stops working thanks ian
My drivers window stopped working and the locking button, guess it's the loom. Tried pulling the rubber boot back but couldn't see any split wires
Got a 64 plate tourneo and the drivers door wont lock horn beeps and door doesnt lock it thinks the door is open you get the warning on when you drive it.is this just the latch been faulty
Interested 👍👍
Cheap wire, More strands per core and silicone or better quility pvc would fix this.
Have you had any problems with the battery
Allen
Yes cheap and nasty wiring loom but not so cheap to replace so why don't ford call these cars fitted with this faulty wiring loom replace them for if they break under 6000 miles free Toyota called all yaris back and replaced faulty air bags modules free of charge even if they did not go off because they knew some had faults
Phil in stoke
I have a custom, the break lights won't come on I changed the bulbs change the break light switch and checked all d fuses the door looms look good to, any tips mate????
brake😄
Does this problem with the wires also effect the driver's window operation? The window on mine has an intermittent behaviour of not working and suddenly working again....strange.
yes it can stop the electric window from working
My transit connect drivers window has failed. Mechanic thinks its wiring but has been pulling his hair out trying to find the problem. Instantly annoyed that all the wires are black. I will show him the video in the hope it helps
@androidloid mine is doing the same! Did you ever figure it out?
Just had mine fail MOT for same reason. Same year, 54k.
With all the modern technology available nowadays manufacturers certainly appear to be wizards at making vehicles more awkward and unreliable there just plastic and electronic night mares that cost customers more money than needs be !
can you help I have a 2014 mk8 custom and my interior courtesy lights stopped coming on when a door opens or when I unlock motor with fob , they do come on if I switch them on manually , central locking seems ok all doors lock unlock ok and interior lights fuses ok
cheers alan
could a dodgy door wiring loom affect interior lights on 8 seater custom bus ?
Hey where do you get the new loom from people any ideas ? Mines is knackered
ford dealership
Do you have a link to where I buy a new loom?
Hi Karlos, did you manage to get a new loom? if so where did you get it? i have a 67 plate transit custom 2.0 eco and need the same drivers door as in the Video.
@@cornishspurrick266 yes I did. Direct from ford, about £80
Wiper motor in a door?
searched all over and NOBODY talks about the window going up or down for only 2" before it stops and u have to hit the button again. WTF?
if that is happening there is a reset for the one touch windows... hold the window switch until the window goes all the way up and hold for one second.....release the switch for a split second.....hold the switch in the upward position for 3 seconds....the one touch up and down should now work
Fords are a complete joke now days.. cheap nasty trim plastics, poor build quality and bloody expensive parts.. I used to be a massive ford fan, but not anymore.. my heart lies with the old school fords from the late 60's upto the 00's.. My last being a mondy mk3 ST tdci.. I now own a merc, and still have my 77 capri and 89 XR2.. proper built fords..
I’m currently fixing my parents Zafira the suspension broke on the motorway so it’s at home but I’m fixing it and only got started!
Alan where is your assistant to help you ?
lol, i made this vid at 6am..no one else emerges till 9am
This is what happens when they shut the Transit Southampton plant and ship it all to Turkey, cheap and nasty components
yep and ford got a grant from brussells to build factory in turkey and non eu country.
Been built there for years even before Southampton plant shut
Anyone familiar with unlocking lock and dead parking sensor problem please?
Maybe get them all out and tape the wire cluster? As a prevention...
Personally I would get Fords to replace the loom as it’s not a ware and tire item it’s not fit for purpose
either are the door hinges
Metal tools for door panel ? Belah!
I suppose th e same is true of the ns door
Mines a 69 plate 30k miles 2 months out of warranty and my indicators have stopped working passenger side mirror and front. Cheap and nasty.
What annoys me with theese aswell is the feed for the passenger window first goes to the drivers door 🤷🏼♂️
mine was that bad I sold it after 7 months
If the wires were colour coded then you could repair them. How much money have Ford saved by making the wires all black? Can't be much. They will happily sell you a new loom though
Going backwards are Ford these days especially with using all black cables on a multiplug.
Black cables don't stop at front doors either. Rear doors and no doubt full body loom to screw over motorists keen on do there own repairs. New looms it would appear
I have a transit custom 2014 and I’ve had the loom eaten twice under the van by foxes and rats apparently not an issiew
Naw the Mystery Machine had the front wheels under the driver's butt, the First Toyota van they sent tot he US, the van Mitsubishi sent to the US in the 80's or the first generation of US vans from Ford, Chevy/GMC or Dodge are closer to the Mystery Machine
Hi Alan what do they charge for the new harness for the above and is it ford only part cheers ????
Did u find out?? Only I've just found some broken wires.....
@@richmills6911 nope think its ford part i just temp fixed wires
Never buying a ford again
Think i’ll wait to replace my MK 7....
2.0 tdci ?
More like 2.2
Chris Hart I think that from late 2016 they are all 2.0 .... might be wrong.
@@johnspanishh6872 2.0 only in china 2.2 tdci duratorq L4 in Europe. 2.3 duratec. Or 2.4 tdci duratorq L4
Chris Hart that is old info mate .. every transit in Europe has a 2.0 from 2017 definitely
@@johnspanishh6872 they run on ad blue as well. But i did not know they were as small as 2.0 the ford ecoblue 2.0l. Didn't know that was out
built in turkey.ford recieved a grant from brussells..giving away our money to a non eu country..and people want to stay in eu.
the eu ... totally corrupt, globalists
😂
my transit has started blasting the horn on locking the door via remote, anyone got any fix suggestions 👍🏻
