NO POWER whatsoever without the key

Postby ford2233 » Wed Oct 12, 2022 8:53 am

Hi folks!

There is no power flaw whatsoever in my Transit until the key in the ignition is turned to 2nd position. Not even blinkers work without the key in 2nd position.

Do I have a fuses problem or does it sound like a major issue?


Thank you kindly for your time!

Sounds normal to me...ignition switch is a common issue when the "accessories" don't work withe the key in the 1st position.

Do your "Hazard" lights work..??

Hi, and thank you for your reply. - Nothing works unless the key is inserted and turned to the 2nd position.

The engine starts without any hesitation even now when there are freezing temperatures in the morning. I'll check the battery voltage tomorrow though. Thank you!

The battery is ok, showing 12,4V... Anybody any thoughts on what could be wrong? Does this have anything to do with fuses maybe? Thank you kindly for your time.

Do you definitely only have one battery? RWD van will have two, some FWD will have two :)

I have found the second battery and it's completely drained! My apologies, you all were right! Thank you guys once again for your time.
