What !!! Really ??? Texas ??? Well shoot your gun then !!

I got to thinking . What other euro vehicles might have similar terminals ? How about Jaguar , ford related . And Volvo ??? If the wheels interchange why not the wiring ??

I got as far as I needed to go for now. Spliced into big wires behind CJB like factory ( big wire from BJB - spiders across CJB to feed fused circuits) fed them thru open relay hole up to feed relays that would be activated by " Customer Access Circuits " . Used the red-blue stripe wire (battery saver relay that I added to the CJB) to trigger an USB power supply . Battery saver turns off the circuit after 30 minutes , perfect ! Open a door start the clock again . Just what I wanted . Put another relay up there while I was at it . Those 2 wires from the "spiders" are battery hot and start/run hot , ready for the next gizmo . When I can get an Used CJB with wires and terms to salvage then I'll install the fuses in the CJB instead of dangling in front of the CJB .

A little late for this thread but .....transmissions go bad around 60K . I think the story goes Over drive clutch pressure isn't strong enough to hold 100%. Causes excessive wear from slippage. Fix is overhaul trans , reprogram for a few more PSI in trans.

Our 2012 has that noise too . Sounds like a loose wiring harness or some "wrapped" or other "soft" item banging around .Upper door , roof area , B pillar ? I wonder if there's a TSB about that . We get an wind noise from the roof rack above 45 mph that need fixing , and then the rattle. Fords TSB program is pretty good with these kinds of problems , but the customer has to make a "stink" to get them resolved .

Just for laughs , see if y'all have the "Customer Access Circuits" wires in your harness . I was surprised to find all 5 wires in our 2012 . pics/links elseware on this forum .

Duh , a line converter ?? I'm a little old fool , i mean old school . WTF ? Got a sub under the drivers seat , connects to the computer in the rear , parked for work. Tell me about a "line converter" ?

Nothing like a SPARK to let the magic smoke out !!!

Ford always comes up "short". 20 horsepower everywhere , 6 inches after the rear wheels 2010-2013 TC , height 2014-5-6? TC , etc . But the GT .... short production run ?!?!?

Oh yeah , and that's the box I really don't need . Got the "add-a-fuse" for now ,strung a 4 wire "Trailer Ribbon" inside under the dash door to door(just in case), tapped into battery "hot" and "key hot" behind the CJB to feed the "Customer Access Circuits" generic relays I might need later. Speaking of later,,,,,the across dash, door to door steel tube structure has punched holes . i see places for generic relays to go with the " customer access circuits" wire ends , visible after the headlight switch is removed. PS.... there is a D shaped "cover" on the side of the dash panel . Pops right out . Great access to a volume of "free " space for customer "stuff".

Sweet Job , well done. I've seen commercially made "low" drawers for Pick-up beds and maybe TC's too.

Don't worry , They won't notice , they're heads are down playing with they're P H O N E S . Just don't let them hit you . This is just for ....us. The ones,,,, in the KNOW.

Flash your lites at passing TCs ! It's hip ! I tried to get the movement going back in August 2009 when I got mine . Then there wasn't too many around . I have got a few flashes since but hey! lets get er going !! Flash your brethren !!!

Hey Don , thanks for the flip-flop. The more I read / see of the 2014/15 TCs the more I think the two generations are completely different , only sharing the name . I unbolted the CJB and turned it around to see the pretty colored spaghetti mess ( this is were I found all the wires for the Customer Access ) . This 2012 has the feed wires spliced to feed the fuses like most in the past years, not the new hotness feed "bars" like yours . I suspect Ford has mated just enough wire to feed the load at the end. Little wire , little bulb. Bigger bulb , bigger wire .Saving weight . The wiring harness is now 13 lbs lighter and now we need 48 lbs of GEMs and relays to turn on a blinker ???? I've wanted to put in a switched dome lite in the rear of both of our 1st gen TCs but I'm afraid to mess with the GEMs . I'm still thinking 'bout it though . I can see better in your picture the wire terms , they are just like the ones I pulled from an old harness I had . I even dug out some double female ones - no wire ? Good idea to post an "For Sale" for those spares , some of this stuff near impossible to find . For now I'm going to get a minifuse tap thingy for the front of the box , until I can get a salvaged 1st gen fuse box .

As to the original question , wire color ..... is GN-BU . that's Green with a blue stripe , I've seen this on our 2012 TC and other years Ford harness. But.... check and test to make sure .

Say hey TCers. First I'm working with a 2012 Prem XLT Wagon , My 2010 doesn't even have a red "socket" in the black fuse block . I looked at another '10 and same story . I'm going by the 2012 owners manual showing fuse/relay positions . And the O manual positions start at #117 and go to #182 . The zone in question is the group of 6 big squares in the center area . Today's up date : Parts Ed had no luck with the guys . We looked at the cartoon again and picked a relay that looked like the one . Part is located in NY , $70. + , naw . I went out a checked with a mechanic that had loaned me older Ford manual CDs , explained the story . Gave me a relay that he had in his tool box . Plugged it in and .... the circuit worked (test lite) . My concern is relay current draw thru the G E M that does the battery saver function ( battery saver turns off the dome / map lites ) .This is why I want to find the exact relay . As for our 2010s , I think the first few boatloads were minimally outfitted Cargos . After these Wonderful little vans caught on ,the public wanted more features, Taxi package , this "Customer Access Circuits Modified Vehicle Wiring (61s)" that I'm working with . And on. Tomorrow I'm going to plug in all the fuses and the relay , hook up somre generic relays to the tiny signal wires . Got to figure out a Battery hot to tap into at the fuse box .The goal is to run powered USBs for the tablet Nav scheme rigged up over the 3 A/C registers . Also put in another Cig liter in the rear drivers side. Got a 12 V Mattress pad to help with the winter chill to run off of an auxiliary battery.

I've been digging around under my daughter's 2012 TC and found the customer access wires , 2 pass thru and 3 "fused" tiny wires . Missing is a "battery saver relay" CJB position #128 , 10 amp mini fuses at F155 , F 144 and F 149 . Also missing is the 25 amp fuse in position F 10 in the BJB under the hood . I rigged a temp fuse in F10 and the F149 wire got "hot". Turned the ignition on and F144 got "hot". But no relay to feed F155 (battery saver) circuit . My FORD parts guy looks up the cartoon , a bunch of sketches of different relays and CBs . No function description ,no real way to find the relay . Is it generic or specific to the battery saver circuit ? He says " bring in a part and we'll try to match it " ....... ? I'm glad I don't have his job , or have to try to fix these cars that way . He was going to ask the techs today if they had any guesses . So my question is ..... does any body in 1st gen TC land have this or installed this circuit ???? What relay did you use ???? The socket looks like the others in the CJB . Thanks for any help bros . PS , my service manager advised that those tiny wires ( from F155 , F144 , F149 ) are meant to signal relays , not to carry current .

Hey Don thanks for thinking of me . Those terms of yours look more like conventional US style Ford terms. I have a few scrap harnesses from a few years back laying around . I pulled a few terms/wires out thinking they should be the same , why not ? They do the same job but won't fit in the hole right . The euro TC must have euro made connectors . Just a little skinny-er . I looked under my '10 and saw a mini fuse adapter, that I forgot about using . An auto parts store thing. Thanks again , Ken

I'm messing with the CJB also.The 3 "Customer Access Circuit " wires are there waiting for fuses. And I want to add another 12 V power port (cig lighter) and fuse it in the CJB. But .... first I need to splice into a hot that is lightly "loaded" as not to blow a main fuse under the hood . Second I need to find the terminals that fit the T-C's CJB . The terms might be the hard part as they aren't like any I've seen .

I just wonder .... there are two rubber flaps by the 3rd brake lite in my 2010 . And vent looking grills inside on the "D" pillar . I bet a 12v computer fan would pull air out thru those flaps ???? Air probably gets drawn thru when the van is moving .

Back " in the day " , there were all kinds of windows available for pick up type campers . Motor home / trailer / slide-in supply shops .

Window " glue " , same stuff the windshields are held with . My '10 just had rear windows and my windshield guy put glass in the pass slider , I don't like blind spots .He used reg windshield sealer . It was tricky to cut out the panel because of needing a long knife to cut in the corners.

3/8" tops. 1/2" causes problems . And be carefull around the roof antenna .

I saw that spot myself , thought the same thing. Access / maintenance would be tricky . If access is thru the cargo floor then you have a panel/door to deal with . Under van access ? Maybe a smallish side term in an " ammo can " might work ? Gas - spark - oxygen ? in a small space ,what's not to love ?

This may be a little late for you , but i found the customer access circuit wires ( 5 ) on my daughter's '12 premium wagon . The 2 "pass thru" wires and the three fused wires ( no fuses or the "battery saver relay" ) . I have a feeling that most/all transits have the wires , but fuses and the relay make the " modified vehicle wiring " package . My concern is the 3 tiny "signal" wires, they're 10 Amp fused. Maybe they're meant to signal a relay , but where to get a big hot wire ? The 2 " pass thru " would be easier / better to use since they are in the harness .
