The Ford Transit's power door locks are regulated by fuses, electrical connections, and two modules. If your Transit's doors are not responding to locking or unlocking commands, check Fuse #78 for central locking to ensure it is working properly. To test the central locking "receiver," find the front interior light and detach the receiver from the ceiling of the Transit. It will be attached with Velcro and should show a red light when you press the key fob. The central locking "module" is actually the van's BCM, situated under the dashboard behind the glovebox and fuse box on the passenger's side of the cabin. Replacing the BCM in a Transit typically costs between $500 and $550 for both parts and labor.
Can you tell me the precise location of fuse number 78?
In the Ford Transit mk7, the central locking module is managed by the BCM, while the receiver is located beneath the headlining.
My Ford transit van's central locking system isn't functioning properly.
My 2007 van has that receiver, but my red indicator light is only visible inside when the door is open. There is no red light on the outside of the vehicle.
Hey Eric, the spot you're looking for is actually a bit further over than you might think. Mine was about 6 inches towards the side where the driver sits. Karl, make sure you remove the plastic covering on the receiver to check for any red light.
My receiver lacks illumination features.
I'm experiencing a similar problem with the receiver not being located near the interior light. Any suggestions on where else it could be?
