Adrian Steel partition (P/N P2TCS14) for 2014-On TC and workbench module (P/N MD611). Workbench dimensions 42"Lx14"Dx28"H. Not cheap, but there probably isn't a better-made equivalent from anywhere else.

After a year I have learned several things. The MPG goes down when it gets cold, more time warming up I guess, but it dropped to an average of about 29 combined. And I have also quit babying it so much. But now as it gets warmer I am back up to 31-32. I can drive pretty hard and still get 28. But if you drive like a race car more like 26. Keep in mind I usually have a light load. I have towed a 2000# trailer several times now and it gets about 21.5 hwy with a uhaul 5x9 open bed trailer full of furniture. My only complaint is a rattle in the dash behind the radio. Rough roads or rpm's below 1500 make it rattle. I have to take it to the dealer to get fixed. I've been wondering how those dash panels over the radio and gauges come off. They might just snap on, but I'm afraid to pull too hard. All in all I love my van

Took it to a test drive for an hour. Very nice, made the deal. Probably to be delivered some time next week.

Sounds like Mazda to me

The Transit Connect wiring is not very DIY friendly for direct battery wiring, or using either of the engine fuse blocks. And even though the passenger footwell fuse block is closest to where I needed power, it was not very usable for a neat and well protected wiring project. It is also part of the BCM and not being much of a car guy, I took to heart the numerous warnings I was reading from various sources about the potential dangers of trying to tie extra circuits in to the BCM. So that set of fuses was off limits too. But the fuse block in the cargo compartment is nearly perfect. It is easily accessible, has plenty of spare fuse slots, and is in a large recess with plenty of room to work. And since it already has it’s own Auxiliary Ignition Relay controlled by the BCM, it has both switched and constant power available. So in the end, the best solution was to mount the FZ-1 Fuzeblock up front where power was needed and supply it with a long wire harness running down the right side of the vehicle to connect it to the rear fuse panel.
