AWD Ford Transit Rear Power SOCKET PLUG Install - Part 9

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- In this video, we install an additional 12v socket AKA Auxillary PowerPoint to the rear of the van. This will be my secondary charging source if there is low to no sunlight available. This will allow me to generate an additional 240W for charging and at max efficiency a total of 540W with my solar panels! Amazing!

I am really enjoying your videos. Your instructions are easy to follow. The attention to detail that you offer gives me confidence that I could do these tasks. Thank you very much for all your hard work.
Thank you for the kind words!
For those of us trying to learn something but do not yet have a Transit in our driveway to get a better look at what you are doing ; A SUGGESTION if you were to film something like this again : shine a light into that back area where the plug is , as looking in that cavity I have no idea exactly what was back there , and maybe when dealing with a dark cavity , besides a light , have a pointer stick . I have learnt a lot from your previous videos , but this one I found tough to follow.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Love what you doing your build out.
Thanks Billy G!
Just added this to my van thanks for doing the legwork.
VeryGood!! Idid learn something new!!
Thanks Pat! 🙏
Thanks for sharing!
Why this plug doesn’t come installed from the factory is beyond me. Add this to the list of quirks with the Transit. You can see how this plug could be useful for vans with fridges or people who transport live animals and need a fan. I’ll update everyone on the actual watts Im getting in a future electrical video. Thanks 🙏
I'm thinking it depends on the build package(s) whether or not it's there. My 2018 has one but I've seen posts on FB about other 2018s that didn't.
@@HikerBiker That's interesting. Typically the main wiring harness has all the plugs and the ancillary wiring is what is either included or not. Best to look and see if you have the plug prior to ordering the secondary harness and socket. Thanks for pointing that out.
Any idea of how much power you can draw from it? I'm not seeing any power specs, so I can't figure out how many watts you can use with it.
@@vmalloc its dependent on your car/fuse rating. Ford Transit has it for a 20amps (20*12v = 240w). My solar charger only inputs 100w from the plug, but I will utilize a 12v inverter to bump that up to the AC charging brick capacity of 400w.
Good job on the videos , have been slowly adding build stages to my van base on your videos . Ordering the parts for the outlet now at local ford.
Glad to help, thank you!
Thank you, this is a big help!
Glad it helped!
@@RichBuilt I spoke too soon, my 2020 crew does not have the grey plug hanging down inside the van. bummer-i'm going to contact ford dealer
Thanks for the video! I just got this as a work van and want to charge my tool batteries from there. Are you able to install a 120 plug receptacle instead of the 12V?
I'm not sure if can, but a great alternative would be to get a 12v intverter rated at 500W or whatever your needs are. See link below. amzn.to/38Ca63v
^only for transits made in 2024
If the fuse has blown for this any idea of fuse locations/number?
Were you able to figure it out?
👍 nice! Mikko can we play now
Thanks for your help I was able to add a 12-volt power outlet. I have the same van. The other day I was using the outlet for tire inflator and blew a fuse can you tell me which fuse supplies that and where it is thank you
I’m also trying to figure that out haha no one seems to know
@@RichBuilt were you ever able to figure it out?
Thanks for this video. We've had this on our to do list for MONTHS but feel like we haven't gotten any definitive advice/instruction. My only question. Can you provide a link(s) to the wire harness and socket you purchased?
I’ll add it to the description
What are your search terms for the wiring? I've searched for several weeks unsuccessfully. Ordered twice but after confirmed its cancelled with no explanation.
@@wayneball4004 We saw someone post that the old part has been discontinued and that there is a new part. I believe we've updated the info in the description in our video about this but we'll have to double check later and get back to you.
@@SteveAudra Thank you. I am grateful for any help. I have searched for hours with no luck.
@@wayneball4004 Just checked the notes on our video and it looks like the new part is LK4Z-14A411-AB. Does that help?
Can't find the wire harness anywhere. My local dealer says they can order it but there is no estimated date for it to ship. Link in the description says discontinued. Tried one online parts place but they said they couldn't get it and canceled and refunded my order. I might have to resort to junkyards soon.
Yeah I think a whole lot of 2020 models that were supposed to come with this from the factory didn't so they took all the stock to make good on people's orders. Try searching under a different year.
Just got my back ordered items from my local Ford
Thanks! But I get no power there, what do I do?
You'll need to buy the harness from Ford.
@@RichBuilt thanks for the reply, but what harness? I measured with a multimeter and literally get zero volts.
Hi,
Do you know the wiring harness code for the uk ?
Tried looking everywhere and no joy
Many thanks
No, sorry
When I clicked on your link the wiring harness is discounted. Is there another part number I could use?
Try searching for the just the part number online. Other distributers will likely carry it. Also try searching under previous model years. They are likely to be a carry over harness.
is that a constant hot or only on when the keys on?
will last same duration as the front power points. about 30 minutes after car is off I think
I just installed mine and it seems to be always live. I thought it only works when the car is running? I was planning to plug my goal zero in there and have it charge whenever the car is on. Is there a way to change it?
It should turn off after 30 minutes similar to the front outlets
How do I make this outlet always live?
Ford was being cheap not to include this socket.
What's the part numbers please 👍
Hey Kyle, its in the description
