No fuse box?

[kevin quick]

Bought 2016 transit connect. Was trying to figure out why sliding doors didn't lock. Discovered there is no fuse box in luggage comp.?

My 2015 had one there but my 2020 does not.

Same style and model on both, just upgraded convenience features on the 2020.

I guess some of the vehicles don't have the options powered by that fuse box.

My van does not have that fuse box ('15 XL LWB cargo), but the sliding door locks DO work perfectly fine (I bought it brand new in '15). There are programming options in the BCM for which doors unlock via the different remote buttons and even the physical lock/unlock switches on the front doors. Being a used vehicle, you likely don't know it's history and especially what custom programming was requested by the original purchaser. Hook up to the ECU via OBDII using Forscan and you can see how the options are set and change them as needed. There may also be a way to do it in the owners manual using a sequence type programming procedure (think back to video games 20 years ago, up-up-down-left-up-right, etc, but instead in the van) - just like you can turn off the belt reminder on both seats (individually) using a certain simple procedure.

Some fleet cargo van buyers order them with partitions and have the door switches programmed to NOT unlock the rear doors, because a thief could then smash a front window and reach in to unlock the secured cargo doors. Universal unlock at the door switch would defeat the security measures of even having the partition to secure the cargo/materials/tools.
