Never mind. I found the problem. It was unbelievably simple. So simple, I’m embarrassed to say what it was. Doing a quick search turned up all kinds of things that could be the issue, but in the end it turned out to be the horn fuse was blown. I didn’t know the interior lights and the horn were connected to each other. I rarely use my horn, so when the lights went out, I didn’t think to check the horn fuse. Why would I? Well, thanks anyway. I’ll post again when something else breaks and I’m too impatient to dig a little before asking an unnecessary question. T

Hey folks. Im hoping I can get some good knowledge and ideas here. I have a 2010 1st gen FTC cargo van that has served me well in the film industry for the last 10 years. I was thinking of selling it and getting a 2nd gen passenger van, but I'd have to go into debt to do that (if I'm going to go into debt, it''looks be for another motorcycle, a story for another time and forum). So I'm, keeping it. It runs great and I put a new tranny in it about 40k miles ago. What I'm looking for now are some second row seats. FTC seats who great but if there are other Ford seats that fit the mounting locations in the FTC, I'd be open to that as well.

I’m almost done but for the last electrical work. I’m now working nearly full time so my van work needs to fit into much less free time. I’ve installed the roof vent and the solar panels and I’m working on the battery tray for the 100Ah LiFePO4 group 24 battery. The solar controller and a couple for cut off switches are installed but not wired as well as a fuse box, a switch panel and the wiring between them. I’m happy everything seems to fit on such a small roof too.

Without any replies I was on my own. This went well as I found a non-rusted subframe on eBay for $360 shipped. My indie mechanic and I replaced it along with the lower A arms and new sway bar struts. It took 3 hours and we indexed it to the previous rusted one. Now I’ve ordered two new front tires and when they are installed I’ll need to get the toe allignment done. With the parts and labor it came to $900. Not cheap but a needed repair that went well and will let my van live on for many years. I’m just ready to do the 65K oil and filter change.
