Mk8 transit ignition wiring

Postby Transittrend » Mon Apr 08, 2019 9:36 pm

Hi. Back to you guys after a few bad years in a sprinter. Lesson learnt.
I’m trying to find an ignition wiring diagram for a mk8 transit. Lots are going missing and I’m in need of getting a tracker attached pretty quickly.
Cheers.

Hopefully someone will have an answer for you?
It's always broken! Getting bored of trying to fix it!!!

Same question here.

Need to get a signal when the engine is ON and no signal when it's OFF. Alternatively the alternator ON/OFF state (from the alternator itself?).
It's for my B2B charger. Any help?

Can't you just buy a voltage sensing relay? 8) they turn on at 14+v

I've read that the engine run wire on the transit isn't strong enough to switch a relay anyway :? But I might have read something else :lol:

But yes the switching relay is good for a few things like chargers, some dash cameras what ever. :D

Great idea!

However, found out about the Vehicle Interface Connector under the driver's seat, which accomplishes excatly what I need :D

But it seems finding a mating connector it isn't as easily said than done... The part 4S7T-14489-VH doesn't seem to be the most common find.

Looks like male space terminals will push in then heat shrink it?
