  1. On 2015 Transit Connect there is a current recall for instrument cluster problems. It is a software issue. Your fault is possibly related to the Power Control Module (PCM).

    Thanks. The website does not tell much about installation http://www.fantasticvent.com/ I also was a bit scared about that hole but I went just fine. You will have to fill the ribs of the roof, they are about one half inch deep. I used small pieces of plywood for the outside. For the inside, I also used the same plywood but pieces were larger. I used masking tape to determine the position of the fan. You must use a metal blade of course. I punch-marked and pre-drilled small holes once I was sure everything was right. You need about 3-1/8" wide pieces X 16" long (2X) and 3" long (4X) for the center ribs. These pieces were stucked between the roof and the headliner. That will provide the screw some more material to grip correctly. The fillers are held in place with butyl tape. The fan base must have a nice strip of butyl to seat on, all around, and overlaping the last inch is a good idea. I filled the ribs and went around the fan with silicone. I finished with a strip of Sikaflex on the screw heads to make sure the water will not make its way through. The fan has 3 speeds and reverses too and only draws 3.0 amps for 920 cfm at max speed.
