Ford Transit Minibus 2006 Dash / Speedo Issue

Postby mark.webb84 » Thu Oct 19, 2023 1:58 pm

Hi, hoping someone can advise the way forward with an issue I have.

My Scout Group has a Ford Transit 2006 (56) 15-seat minibus. It has issues with central locking in that the key operation seems temperamental, however, an issue I have just noticed may be behind this issue.

The speedo/dash display seems to be constantly recalibrating. The speed needle drops and resets. This happens when the engine is off and/or key is not in the ignition.

Could it be fuses? The fuses look slightly corroded but are intact. Or is it likely to be a wiring fault?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Many thanks

Welcome to the forum :D

Firstly, as it was a changeover year, we need to establish whether it's a Mk6 or a Mk7 :? .

Look at my avatar, does the front look like the silver van on the left, or the white van on the right :?:
1994 Mk4 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (R.I.P.)
1997 Mk5 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (Gone, but not forgotten!)
2004 Mk6 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.0 TDDi - Vantunered (Also gone)
2008 Mk7 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.2 TDCi - Also Vantunered
