    You can change the ACM configuration with Forscan. I think there is a common base unit in most vehicles. This ACM can be configured for multiple speakers along with other options. Changing the configuration will change the screen interface also. Features like HD radio and satellite radio require a new ACM. The one configuration I needed that did not work on the base ACM was turning on pre-amp outputs. This only works with the upgraded Sony unit.

    It's a horn. I don't know why it is there. https://www.fiammhorns.com/12v-vehicles-without-air-supply/FIAMM-930069-HK8-L-disc-horn-set

    Check a local salvage yard. You can rebuild your existing assembly if the replacement one fails. I did this on a Subaru after first spending hours pressing new bearings without the proper tools. The new bearings failed too soon. I bought a used knuckle for about the price of new bearings. Used knuckle was ok after 50k miles.

    The connector in your photograph is C240A on the ACM in the wiring diagrams. Here are two more diagrams that will have the rest of the C240A connections identified. Look at the label next on the wires going into the ACM to find the C240A pin number. The pin numbers are on the plug (your photo) and the connector on the ACM. I don't have a simple view of the connector with each pin identified but you should be able to identify each wire and pin from the set of wiring diagrams. ACM_2 wiring diagrams.pdf

    If I remember correctly the dome lights turn off with the dimming "theater effect" by slowly bringing the ground connection up to 12v so the light has 12v on both wires.

    Google those codes. The first two are problems with the system voltage. Easy way to monitor voltage is with a cigarette lighter USB adapter with voltage display. Your scan tool will also measure the alternator voltage and current. I would start with those measurements and monitoring.

    Transit Transit Custom Transit Connect or Toureno Connect These models are often confused. Congratulations on your new van. I think starting with the passenger version is a good idea unless you are going to use it solely for industrial purposes.

    The HVAC control module controls everything except the blower motor. Hopefully you can reset the module. A scanner that can read DTCs would probably show a communication problem if the module is dead. Attached is the description of the HVAC control system. climate ctrl.pdf

    I will check the service manual for info on how the climate controls communicate to the body control module BCM. In the meantime, the basic way to reset all the modules is to disconnect the battery for at least 15 minutes. This trick has solved a lot of weird problems.

    I think you need an AGM battery. Here is A detailed discussion: See my posts on page 2. Install an AGM type battery. Your TC does not have the battery monitoring system so that does not need to be disabled. If you do a lot of short drives followed by long periods of waiting with power on you may need a second battery. A good charger by Noco or Ctek will help. You can configure a plug to connect the charger without opening the hood.

    The behavior seems like the lights are "off" and you are seeing the daytime running lights only. Can you turn the lights off? What about parking lights?

    I did not see the odometer write function in the latest Forscan version, 2.3.33. Where is this function located (which module?). Can you please show a screenshot of it?

    Download a body and equipment mounting manual (BMM). 120 pages of detailed info about loading, anchor points and much more. https://www.etis.ford.com/bemm/bemmSelectionForm.do?chosenmodel=Tourneo

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
