Yes, the new cluster will show the mileage from the donor vehicle. The general consensus is the mileage is stored in the cluster and somewhere else (like the PCM). But Nobody in the Forscan community knows for sure. Forscan only shows the IPC (cluster) mileage. Since the mileage is close, I would not spend the money to change it. Just make sure you note the difference when you sell the vehicle so you don't get accused of fraud. Remember, to remove the panel above the cluster you have to pull straight back....NOT up. It will pop as the clips release. Enjoy your new cluster!

Wiring Harness Burned Out
Don Ridley replied to ewysocki's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
I was going to suggest LED bulbs but they need to be high quality with adequate cooling otherwise the constant use will kill them also. -
Ebay has one https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=ft1t10849uh&_trksid=p2380057.m4084.l1313.TR3.TRC2.A0.H0.Xft1t.TRS0

Search junkyards on the internet using the cluster part number. Use different search engines, Google, Bing, Yahoo etc LKQ is a nationwide company and may have one. Keep looking, a TC will end up in salvage yard sooner or later.

Missing fusebox
Don Ridley replied to Gabe's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
The wiring diagrams show the tail lamps and stop lamps are driven directly from the body control module (BCM). There are no fuses for these circuits. The BCM gets 50A from the main fuse block. You need to read the DTC codes with a scan tool. This may show you have a short that is causing the BCM to kill power to the lights. Or, try removing all the bulbs and replacing them one at a time. -
2020 TC Cargo Sync 3 Touch audio upgrade
Don Ridley replied to RoadWarrior's topic in Audio, Navigation and SYNC
Start researching Forscan. You may be able to turn on extra speakers. The head unit is the ACM in older vehicles. Your 2020 may be different. I have a 2016 so my knowledge is limited to those versions. -
This post shows how to disconnect the cable from the door handle. The key is to pull straight back along the cable axis on the square collar.

It should be in the roof above the windshield.

2014 Ford Transit Connect XLT-Door Lock Issues
Don Ridley replied to DavidR's topic in Exterior Parts & Panels
The interior door handle is connected to the latch via a cable. Either the cable or latch is broken. Remove the door panel and inspect the handle and cable on the inside. -
Window won't go down
Don Ridley replied to ron's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
There is a button on the driver's door that locks out the back windows. Do you have this button pressed? -
If you get a scan tool or obd2 reader you can see the coolant temperature and the fan command status (scan tool only). This will tell you if the fans are supposed to be on but won't tell you how to fix them.

Here's the door module communication connections. The rear door module communicates on a LIN bus, not CAN bus. The DTCs seem to show the door locks did not respond to a "lock" command. The DTCs are not time stamped so it could have occurred at any time. Some will eventually disappear. Clear it and see if it returns. You can safely reset the BCM with Forscan. But this never seems to fix anything. Do NOT do any relearn functions. If the window does not respond the local switch or the master driver's door switch, I think the door module is bad. You can measure the voltage change from the local switch. window_sw_module comm.pdf

You need to check the "rear door module". Attached is the electrical connection diagram. If the module is damaged you can buy a used one like this (this is for the right side): https://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-2017-FORD-TRANSIT-CONNECT-REAR-RIGHT-PASSENGER-SIDE-DOOR-CONTROL-MODULE-OEM/202591178986?epid=22024818468&hash=item2f2b6010ea:g:WvYAAOSwH6lcXNPX Get the correct part number (F1ET...) off your module and do a Google search. I don't know if the modules are plug-n-play. If you have to upload the module configuration you will need to use Forscan. Forscan can also read the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and it may tell you the point of failure. There is a learning curve with Forscan (to make programming changes) but you can easily use it (PC or phone app) to read status codes. Removing the door panel is not too difficult. Use plastic removal tools to keep from breaking the tabs. The Styrofoam vapor barrier is removed by pulling on the edge until the black butyl rubber spreads into a thin film. Cut the butyl rubber with a razor blade as you continue to gently pull the vapor barrier off the door. Re-install by simply pressing the two lines of butyl rubber back together. DO NOT cut the vapor barrier. https://forscan.org/ read door module_left.pdf

Vibration of rear drum brakes with warm weather.
Don Ridley replied to PTRWorkVan's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
Question/suggestion: Could a bad bearing cause this symptom? The rear axles don't see stress against the bearing except when braking due to front wheel drive. Maybe the sound is coming from a bearing? -
Finally those who were led to believe that science and math are a matter of opinion will see that frequently there is only one truth. Nobody's opinion in this crisis matters. Biology and epidemiology will determine the outcome. Be smart. Follow science. It has no ulterior motives. We can revive an economy. Dead parents, grandparents or friends will remain dead... forever.

Ability to lock keys in car
Don Ridley replied to Cobrargc's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Key Fobs & Remote Start
Since the dome light works, I think the door switch (integral to the latch) is good. The door module sends messages over the MS-CAN about the lock status, door switch status etc.. The MS-CAN wiring should be OK since the lights work. So something is not sending or receiving messages about the other functions: door chime, door ajar etc. The Body Comm Module (BCM) processes all information regarding interior switches and instrumentation. You may have a problem in the BCM or the door module. This may be a problem only a dealership can fix (especially if they need to reflash the BCM or door module). -
Yeah I'm home for the foreseeable future (California). Working from home sucks. I trying to dream up a good project. Maybe I'll buy an Arduino and make it blink some LEDs or other frivolous functions.

Ability to lock keys in car
Don Ridley replied to Cobrargc's topic in Alarms, Keyless Entry, Key Fobs & Remote Start
There may be a problem with the door module. Connect a scan tool to see if there are any error codes. Maybe it's just the door switch. Do the lights go on and off? Do you get a door open message when the engine is running? -
Probably a Transit. But funny either way.

2015 Windshield Wiper Problem
Don Ridley replied to Lakeview's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
Forscan is hacked software developed by Ford enthusiasts in Russia. It's used primarily by F150 guys but works on most Ford's. https://forscan.org/home.html -

2015 Windshield Wiper Problem
Don Ridley replied to Lakeview's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
You will need a scan tool to read the DTCs. Forscan can do this and also reset modules. If this is too much trouble, you will need to visit a dealership to get this corrected. -
2015 Windshield Wiper Problem
Don Ridley replied to Lakeview's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
Here is the Forscan procedure. TC and Focus are there same for this function. Maybe the calibration will reset whatever is causing the problem? I don't know. Forscan has a learning curve and you need an adapter. Details are discussed in this forum and any Focus forum. -
2015 Windshield Wiper Problem
Don Ridley replied to Lakeview's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lights, Mirrors, Window Tint & Wipers
There is a calibration function for the wipers in Forscan. I will look for a more generic method.
