How often does the module fail? Only time I dont blow a fuse is when it's disconnected..

For the sliding door... Have u tried turning the inside knob on the bottom-left of the sld? I had to take the side cover off and pull the wire while fiddling with the turn knob thing lol...

Once all door connections are disconnected is our next step to test each wire with a multimeter?

Hahahha I'm also a transit noob... I've spent hours and hours trying to work this out..

Can I confirm 100% that ford didn't do that and I'll try and return the wiring to stock if I can find the wiring diagram?

Any advice appreciated :)

Also where is that diagram from? Anyone know a good place to download manuals etc etc?

Any suggestions for a tampered with front harness? This is such a nightmare..

I'm not sure what my next option is...

Any help is much appreciated..

Central locking not working!

Instant blowing of the 15a aux fuse on the steering column - the wiring has been messed with by the previous owner..

I decided to pull the dash out yesterday and try and sort it out...

I have the Hayes manual..

Wires seem to be cut and spliced from the central locking control unit to the door plugs as well as some going to the steering wheel

Any suggestion please I'm desperate lol

Do I try an wire back as the Hayes manual shows? Would it be easier to add an aftermarket alarm?

Should I try and get a whole new (used) harness?


Thanks for any help :)

Cheers James

That wiring has already been butchered, you have the connector and lots of wires from what I suspect was an aftermarket alarm that someone else fitted and tried :roll: to make operate the locking...leaving you with the issue you know have.

Some of those soldered and joined wires are actually factory fitted like that, the loom is spliced like this many many times throughout all of it, which makes it harder to tell someones aftermarket add on, or just a factor joint. if you start ripping them all out, you will be worse off, as you will disconnect things that are meant to be there!

The Haynes diagrams for this era of van have got over a hundred errors in the way they are drawn, and there are several errors in the locking diagrams, so do not try and re wire it following those diagrams, they wont be much help with trouble shooting either.

Where abouts are you? someone may be nearby and able to help.

I have done many many repairs, fault finds, and alterations to the locking system on the mk6 vans, and it is rather complex in operation / wring, but relatively simple to fault find.

If the main fuse blows and it all stops working, remove the other fuse, then replace the main one. see what operates then and report back.

I made a quick video trying to show u my struggle..

I've been trying to track down a used wiring harness but so far I've only found one from an 01 model which is a little different I think.. (mines an 05 and has a digital section on the speedo)

Pls watch with video and shed any light.. I'm lost

I've decided to try a new central locking control module.. My friends think those dodgy looking connections could actually be factory.. Fingers crossed..
