T1m Posted December 30, 2024 Share Posted December 30, 2024 Hi all. UK member with a 2015 Connect. Firstly, thank you to all of those who have provided info and help for this great resource forum. Iv’e been lurking for many months and gaining info in the past but after an extensive search, I can’t get the bottom of this particular issue. Over night the issue happened. I have no dash or centre console illumination. No gauges work (speedo, fuel, temp.), there is no digital display in the dash. Exterior lights and indicators work. Heater and windscreen heater work. Interior lighting works. Central locking works. Van starts and drives fine. Radio doesn't work on ignition but will work if you operate it prior to ignition for the one hour as it would if keys were not present. All fuses in both fuse boxes are intact. A day later the battery died, I thought this was the issue, replaced with new battery but problem still exists. I don't have a dedicated code reader so got it booked into a local garage next week. Don't want to have to taken it to Ford if at all possible. The BCM comes upon searches, are there ways of confirming/ruling it out? Thanks in advance.

Fifty150 Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 A lot of probabilities. Somebody needs to do an inspection. If you are not capable of performing your own diagnostics, then a good mechanic is needed. You don't want everyone online giving you wild guesses about the various computer modules which control different functions, the electrical relays and fuses, the wiring harnesses and connectors, squirrels and rats chewing on wires, water intrusion shorting out electronics............
