While exploring my new van, I found these two connectors under the passenger seat, next to the jack.
Who can tell me what these are for?

I don't have 'em. Mine is cargo van, if that gives any clue. In some Transits, there's climate control stuff under the passenger seat.

Strange, we have basically identical vehicles, except for color, engine and probably some options.

One more thing to investigate.

Not in mine either- I'm intimately familiar with under the passenger seat since I installed my Espar heater there. I even reworked the jack bracket to move it over a few inches.

That is part of the optional up-fitter wiring package. You can check the BEMM manual for the specific pins output.

It starts making me feel unique!

Budsky - Was it much work to move over the jack?

On 2015 cargo van I have the upfitter switches but do not have any plugs under the passenger seat.

Not really. There 3 studs in the floor, I had to cut one off to get room for the Espar to sit flat on the floor. One is used to secure a tether cable to the jack bracket.

I redrilled the left hole mount about an inch or so closer to the jack, this hole goes over the stud on the left when remounted.

Then I cut off the other side of the bracket ear with an angle grinder. Drilled a new hole near the cutoff point and shot a sheet metal screw into the floor to secure it for now.
I will put a nutsert in to replace the screw when I get some.
Maybe 10 minutes total.


I just noticed in your pic the jack has a nylon strap over the rubber strap holding the jack in the mount- mine just had the rubber strap.

The switches and wiring are 2 separate options.

I didn't get the switches but thought the wiring upgrade might come in handy, plus it wasn't expensive.

Do you know if the upfitter wiring package is listed on the Build & Price page, or just something you specify when ordering at a dealer?

I didn't see anything named that when I was playing around with my build. It does have the option "Modified Vehicle Wiring System", cost $0, that was added (along with dual batteries and HD alternator) when I selected the upfitter switches.

 

[unclebob]

It was on the 2015 build sheet but I can't swear to the exact wording.

Click on the description of the option and it will specify what it is.

No that I think about it I'm not positive I found that on the Ford website. I also used another build site that was more complete. It might have been cars.com or one of the similar sites.

When I actually ordered I had a build sheet from both sources because neither one listed everything. I just gave the salesman the option codes and he entered it in the computer.

RandomJoe,

For the 2015's it was listed under the "Van / WagonAvailable Equipment", as an option for both.

User-defined upfitter switches (4) (67C) (requires heavy-duty alternator and dual heavy-duty batteries; includes Modified Vehicle Wiring System and customer connection point)

It was $85.00.

Passenger power seat?

Passenger power seat?

That might be it. I have a 10-way driver power seat. Let's see whether it has a similar plug(s).

DEF system plugs. You have a gas engine?

Yup, gas engine. Unlikely to have anything to do with diesel.

Not unlikely at all. Those plugs attach to a DEF pump on my van.
