If your Ford Transit is showing no ignition lights and fails to start, it's likely due to a dead battery. The easiest way to solve this issue is by jump-starting the car using another vehicle with a functioning battery. All you'll need are a set of jumper cables for this task. Position the running vehicle close enough so that the cables can reach both batteries, then turn off the engine. Start by connecting the positive lead of the cables to the working battery first, then to the dead one, followed by the negative lead. Once the cables are connected, start the vehicle with the good battery and let it run for a minute before attempting to start the Transit. After the Transit has started, be sure to drive it for around 30 minutes to allow the alternator to fully recharge the battery.
The Ford Transit Custom isn't showing any lights on the dashboard and won't start the engine, but the radio and power windows are still working.
Typically, when you don't see any lights come on when you try to start the engine, and the engine doesn't start, it's a pretty clear indication that the battery is dead.
The battery is at full capacity, and all electrical components, such as the heater fan, radio, windows, and central locking, are functioning properly. However, the car is not showing ignition lights or attempting to start.
