Great video. My mirrors are playing up (but still working randomly). And van beeps when i lock the van. Assuming this will be the issue. Ill peel back the rubber grommet and take a look. Thanks! Great video and looks easy to follow. I normally lose interest in videos like these because camera angles are rubbish and all you can hear is the wind on the camera. Thanks again

@@Martysworkshop hi mate, back again 😂 just took the rubber sleeve off and pulled it back to expose wires. It's full of water. How on earth does it get in there? Was fitted tightly to the door and the van itself?

@Martysworkshop 4 ай бұрын

I would say it's more than likely coming in from the door side, if you take the door apart, see if the harness is elevated causing it to fun down the wires,

My thoughts on hinge wiring repairs, they almost always fail at any part that restricts the wire (in this case the fibre tape) I like to leave all the wires loose inside the rubber, i definitely dont tape them up as a bundle. I want to say it was bmw boot hinges that taught me that lesson, but may have been some convertible or other. Thank-you for the video, I dont "do" commercial vehicles but have a mate with a transit with no indicator in the mirror, and now I know where to look first. and on the crimp Vs solder debate. if the wires mint, solder. if the wires even remotely oxidised, crimp. IMHO.

Hi Marty, Great video on the van again, always enjoy your van videos. Don't know if you read my last comment so ill put it here. just wondering if you are still going to do a video about your transit custom, and how bad they rust/don't rust compared to the mk6/7 transit. Cheers Thanks again

I have an issue where the van doesn't sense when the driver's door is opened so for instance the radio will stay on and interior lights don't turn on but the passenger door is fine, all switches work fine on the driver's door, windows, folding mirrors/ adjustment and locking, could it be within the harness? Or from what I can make out is the sensor must be in the latch? As it's not like older motors where there was a little push switch on the door frame. Any suggestions are appreciated?, It's had a security barrel/lock put in on the driver's doors, that couldn't be an issue?

@Martysworkshop Жыл бұрын

Hello stu, I doubt the lock would cause this, it could be the wiring or the catch, you need to strip the door down to repair either

Hi mate, I have a problem were my reverse lights only work for a few seconds and then they turn off on my 2017 Ford Transit. I have replace the reverse light switch but still no luck. I tested the voltage of the reverse light wire and it has 5V but supposed to be 12V. I have asked many mechanics to fix this but they can't. All the other lights work except for the reverse lights. Do you have any advice? Do you know where the fuse is?

@Martysworkshop 8 ай бұрын

I'm not sure tbh, modern vehicles rear lights are ecu controlled so don't believe there is a fuse for it or a relay, it's usually controlled by the lighting module
