    Hey I need some help! I had a household electrician look at my set up and he said that because I originally had a 30amp main fuse for my inverter, the loads could exceed the capacity of the inverter damaging it. He recommended I switch the main to a 20amp which I did, but I am still experiencing...

    Hi All, I'm finalizing the electrical system for my first build. I've relied heavily on this forum and borrowed from existing builds, since I'm a beginner. Wanted to share my progress on my system diagram and hopefully get some feedback. I'll be using the van for camping trips where I will work...

    Hey y'all, I am very pleased to announce that as soon as I make the final connections on my electrical system, my build will be complete. I left the electrical for last because it was extremely daunting to me though I did make accommodations for wiring throughout my build process. I still don't...

    Hey all, I am converting a 23 transit and installed the Flatline Van Co low pro rack with width of 58" (57.3" usable due to it tapering at the top). I installed two Maxxair fans in the front and back with a width of 16.4", leaving 20.8" on either side for 58" width or 24.45" for the 57.3"...

    Hello, I have a 2019 Transit diesel that has just shy of 100k miles. It’s consumed 4 Alternators, it’s at the dealership getting its FIFTH!! Yes folks, you read that correctly! FIFTH ALTERNATOR! I’m fairly mechanically inclined, but dang! I’m just glad it’s under an extended warranty… That...

    I have a 2020 Ford Transit 250 that will not start. It has been to three different auto shops, one being an electrical specialty shop, and no one has been able to figure it out. Accessories come on, but when I turn the key, there is no crank, no click, no response. The battery, alternator and...

    Has anyone successfully added a 3rd battery to the dual AGM stock setup? The van has dual alternators onboard as well. I want to avoid buying another large battery. adding another 70Ahr battery would be plenty to support my planned setup. (LEDs, water pump, USB charging, and webasto heater)...

    Neither of the two 12v sockets in the passenger compartment is working. My first thought was a blown fuse. As far as I can tell there are three fuses responsible for power to those two ports: F47 (20A fuse for one socket), F49 (20A fuse for other socket), and F44 (60A fuse gatekeeping both F47...

    Hi all. I am having trouble with my Victron Inverter/Charger in my new electrical setup. My battery bank is showing a voltage of 13.2 all along the terminals. I have 4/0 cables going from my lynx distributor to my inverter/charger along with the 400amp fuse. I have read the Victron Manual front...

    Hey all, Recently I've encountered a weird issue with my electrical. My turn signals both work just fine, but for some reason, my instrument cluster's left green arrow (that flashes when I have my signal on) isn't coming on anymore. Not the right, the right one works fine, just the left. And...

    hi, we are looking at placing an order for a transit van. question 1: if we wanted to add some simply electrical modifications (interior lighting for example) what option would we need to order? i believe that an option exists to connect to switches on the dashboard? question 2: how would...

    Hi there! I bought a used Ford Transit Connect XLT just before the pandemic with plans to convert it into a camper. The transmission was replaced after purchase. Skipping ahead to now and me trying to resell it (since the work I was planning to have the camper for no longer exists) but I've run...

    We recently moved the entire wiring harness going through the cargo area of our midroof 2019 transit 250 into the wall channel. We basically just yanked all the clips down, taped around all the connection areas thoroughly so they could fit through the channel, then fed them through to their...

    I have a 2016 Ford Transit Passenger and have been trying to solve a few electrical issues. After running a ton of different tests and capping any open sensors related to the airbags, I think I’ve narrowed down the root of my remaining electrical issues to removing my headliner in the cabin...

    Hi, I'm looking to install an electrical system in my camper van. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for kits, parts lists, or diagrams I can use to get started? I am good with electrical but have never installed a fully solar system that can self sustain. I am looking for a solar...

    Newbie question here: have seen conflicting info online but should the negative bus bar/B2B charger be connected to chassis ground (like the ground bolt near the parking brake) or directly to the negative terminal of the car battery to complete the circuit? and what would be the difference?
