2015 transit diesel won't start.

Postby chuffstix » Fri Jan 12, 2018 2:38 pm

Hi all,

Van wouldn't start after leaving it for three weeks over Christmas. Dash lights on, not turning over at all..
Both batteries were showing about 12.3 volts. Thought that would be enough for it to try turning the engine but assumed the van was doing something clever to stop that happening.
Fully charged both batteries and put them back in just now - van still won't turn over.
Anyone tell me what I should be checking next? I'm happy to try anything but almost completely clueless with all the electrics etc on this thing

So eventually had AA out, they checked everything and suggested it was starter motor, so it got towed to the Ford dealer.

They phoned later to say fuse 19 was missing and that it was starting fine now that they've replaced it.

Work that one out.

User manual has diagrams of the fuse boxes. To the best of my knowledge fuses don't just drop out though! The only explanation I was offered was that the AA man must have forgotten to replace it when he checked. Doesn't explain why it wasn't starting prior to that though. Hope you get it sorted.
