Thanks for the great reply Sir. Doog

Hi Do you think Ford will bring the Ford Transit Custom into Canada? (oh and the USA as well...)! The transit Custom is physically larger according to the Blokees over in Ireland, Scotland and Whales (England too ... ; ). Whats say you?

Thanks GBL Found a set of factory rims from a Ford Fusion ( I think). Doog

Hello Searched but no much about using adapter plates. Is it ok to go to the more common bolt pattern? I can pick up used rims for winter/summer etc. As long as all the parameters are ok i.e offset, centre bore etc etc. I have a 2015 LWB cargo TC with the 16" wheels/tires. Much Obliged Doog

Hello TC'ers I popped out the floor D rings from the rear of the van. The D rings helps secure the vinyl floor. I lifted the floor and found moisture underneath between the steel and the foam underlying (white foam is the backing for the black vinyl). Not a ton of moisture but it seemed cold and damp and sweaty as if someone wiped a wet towel on the paint. Is the cargo mat a recipe for premature corrosion of the van's floor? Appreciate your guidance. Doog

Don Thanks a million for what you posted. I just finished the install. I used a ZCI Tekonsha 119251 kit. Drivers Side aft panel (partial) and access cover removed. Popped out the Taillight Grey Connector(s) in the metal work. Peeled back the hockey tape on the above's harness. Found the signals (guessed on one of them) using a Volt Meter (Multi-meter on 20V dc) . Installed the couplers (sensors/pickups/inputs) noting the arrow direction as per Tekonshan instructions . Rinsed and repeated on the Starboard side for the remaining lone Coupler (Right hand Signal aka Blinker). Had to do a start-up routine to let the module "learn" the system. This was with the 13.8V fused feed line run jury rigged outside the vehicle to the Van's Battery. Will install the feed line proper tomorrow. Hopefully no issues down the line with Trailer faults causing gremlins in the TC's electronics. Here are some tidbits in context to the ZCI Tekonsha 119251 and its instructions : The North American 2.5l 2015 LWB TC incorporates a 3 wire rear light system (trailer wiring jargon). I used all 3 sensors supplied (some systems like 2 wire vehicles you drop one of the couplers). Wire colours below may need verification on your TC. ZCI Tekonsha 119251 TC Taillight Harness Grey Connector. Turn Sig Left ...(YLw Tag)-------------------------------------------Gry/Brn wire Port side (Pulsating DC Voltage with left Blinker energized at the steering column). Stop................ (Red Tag).............................................Purple wire Port side (not sure of signal or voltage). Tail.................. (Brn Tag)..............................................Brn/Purp wire Port side (12.8 V with Light Switch at the steering column rotated full clockwise to on). Turn Sig Right (Grn Tag)--------------------------------------------Grn/Brn wire Starboard side (Pulsating DC Voltage with Right Blinker engaged). Thanks DON and thanks forum. Schematics are so awesome in any situation. Cheers Doog

I need to find the Taillight and Blinker wires in the harnesses back aft, in the rear compartments. I have no wiring diagrams. Color codes may help. If no then maybe I am able to find em with a buddy working the brakes and blinker and me on the multimeter probing. I watched a few vids by etrailer and the Tech takes the grey connectors down to get some slack, Not sure how he is doing that. They are clipped in. Any tips? Backgorund Love my 2015 TC LWB Cargo Machine. I installed a U HAUL Hitch. Now I will go for the Wiring Harness. My 2006 F150 pooched a BCM and I wonder if it was with a fault on one of my trailers. For the TC I splurged on a ZCI Tekonsha (Zero Connect) for isolation from the BCM (I don't like BCMs). Much Obliged. Doog

Thanks tips! Really like the ride! : ) Doog

Thanks for replies...I bought a 2015 local lease buyback with 56 k (Km). She's clean as a whistle. Been clamoring for a Cargo Van for many many years (Almsot bought a Chrysler Minvan back in 1989). My family stopped me from buying a Gen1 TC back in 2013. I have one dilemma with this new to me TC and may need some guidance. Will create a new post. Thanks for all help thus far. Doog

Hi Stretch..thank you offer but I'm a CanuckAtolla so I can't buy. Good Luck Doog

Hi Any issues with the 2.5l? How does the new 2.0 L compare? Have a chance at a 2018 Titanium with 70K but she was used as the Courtesy Car (small city driving). Much Obliged. Doog

Well I just about choked. Did a fly-by and spied one in the Blue Oval parking lot A euro vehicle for the loyalist colony(sans diesel and stick)! And she's not a hairy mammoth. All of those years we have waited whilst putting up with #$@&*%. I'll be fitting one out for the glorious North, strong and free. :rolleyes: Thank you so much....there is hope.
