Yourfriendholly Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Hello ! My Ford Transit Connect is having what I think are electrical issues. Sometimes I go to start the van and it will act as if the battery is completely dead. No clicks of the engine trying to start and I can’t turn on my inside lights. The battery is brand new replaced earlier this year. I definitely am not leaving my lights on or draining the battery. Today I got in to start it after being in a gas station for 5 mins and nothing would come on, even the inside lights. I randomly decided go open my door and then the lights inside turned on . SO WEIRD because using the switch inside didn’t do anything. So I tried to start it and all of a sudden it started (a few clicks almost like it didn’t want to?) . This happened a month ago I thought I left my lights on , went back the next day to jump the battery and it just started . Anyone else had weird issues like this before ??? Every so often a random fuse blows and I can’t get my van to go out of park until I change the fuse. (This happened before the not starting). Thanks for any tips !!!

MBraswell Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I ran into the same issue and replaced the battery and same issue continued. Just happened to close driver door and it cranked. Van has been parked majority of time due to purchase of another car. Lately, starts fine when cranking on occasion to keep battery charged. Could a safety mechanism in door related to ignition be going bad? Did you find a solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
