A-tek Posted July 9, 2025 Share Posted July 9, 2025 Hey guys, I have a 2011 Ford transit connect. It has the power socket in the rear by the back door. I was changing it out and stupidly touched the hot to the body got a spark and there’s no more power on the lead. I figured it blew a fuse, (174) but the fuse is good. Also, when I test for voltage on the fuse, neither side is hot. (yes I tried it with ignition on and off). Could I have blown something further down the line from the fuse box? Thanks.

windguy Posted July 11, 2025 Share Posted July 11, 2025 Sorry for your woes. Can't help you diagnose that electrical snafu. Guys like Don R. might have some ideas. A wiring diagram might help to see where the positive side of that fuse comes from. Any other circuits affected (lights, horn, radio, etc). I must add, I think the stupid part (you said it, not me) wasn't touching the hot to the body, but not pulling the fuse for that circuit before working on it. That or the positive lead on the battery. If you were changing out an outlet in the house would you turn the circuit breaker off first? Lesson learned but I do hope you can figure this out without too much pain. Good luck, keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
