Ford Transit Mk6 (2000-2006) – Fuse Box and Relay Diagrams

The European Ford Transit Mk6 (2000-2006) has a larger electrical distribution system than its predecessor, with 46 under-bonnet fuse positions, 27 dashboard fuses, relays and diodes. These tables cover the main and auxiliary relay blocks, including unused locations. Installation varies with 2.0 and 2.4 diesel engines, the 2.3 DOHC petrol engine, automated manual transmission, coachbuilt bodies and optional equipment.

Where are the Transit Mk6 fuse boxes?

Engine compartment: Switch off the ignition, open the bonnet and locate the main electrical box near the expansion tank and battery wiring. Release its lid clips and compare the printed position legend with the diagram. Certain versions also have an auxiliary relay carrier underneath the expansion tank or alongside the main box. The exact position varies with engine and vehicle body configuration.

Passenger compartment: The main fuse board is behind the drop-down trim or glovebox on the passenger side. Open the glovebox, carefully release the stops and lower the panel to expose fuse locations 201-227. Relays R14-R22 sit alongside the board. Use the access flap before attempting any larger dashboard disassembly.

Optional rear heating, air conditioning, powered windows, minibus equipment and trailer wiring can alter which relays are installed. Codes beginning Ra identify the auxiliary relay block, while D denotes a diode rather than a conventional relay.

Main engine compartment fuses – positions 1-24 and 101-122

Under-bonnet relays R1-R13, Ra1-Ra6 and diodes D1-D4

The under-bonnet relay system can include more than one physical carrier. Some relay and diode positions are unused on specific engines. For example, relay R9 has different roles on TDdi and TDCi vehicles, and R2 can control either glow plugs or a cooling fan. A relay location is not assigned a blade-fuse amperage in this table.

Passenger-compartment fuse panel – positions 201-227

The passenger board serves lighting, cabin blowers, sockets, radio, wipers and heated windows. Fuse 212 supplies the lighter, while 216 protects an additional accessory socket; these are independent feeds.

Passenger-compartment relays – R14 to R22

These relays are fitted according to vehicle body, auxiliary heating and window equipment. The separate diagram also shows an alternative relay arrangement on selected vehicles.

Cigarette lighter, fuel pump, wipers and heated windscreen

12 V power outlets: A dead cigarette lighter points to passenger fuse 212 (10 A); a separate outlet is protected by passenger fuse 216 (20 A). Verify the actual socket contacts before replacing other components.

Starting and fuel supply: Engine-bay fuse 22 (20 A) is associated with the fuel pump. Check the corresponding relay and engine management circuits, taking account of differences between TDdi and TDCi diesel injection equipment.

Front wipers: Inspect engine-bay fuse 13 (30 A), cabin relay R14 and the combination switch. In a car with a heated windscreen, the left and right halves are protected separately by high-current fuses 102 and 110 (40 A each).

Headlamps: Right-hand and left-hand dipped beams have separate under-bonnet fuses 23 and 24, both 10 A. Central-locking and alarm-equipped conversions may have additional fuses behind the instrument cluster, depending on the body configuration.

Transition from Transit Mk5 and the 2006 redesign

Transit Mk5 (1995-2000) has a different single dashboard panel and numbering system. Its fuse and relay guide is the appropriate reference for the earlier “Smiley” vehicle. The first 2000 model year can also have a specific European equipment listing. Following the 2006 generation change, Transit fuse carriers were redesigned again, so the Mk6 layout should not be used automatically on later vehicles.

Technical basis: Ford Transit owner documentation for vehicles built from January 2000 to May 2006 and European fuse and relay layouts. Check the engine code, equipment and fuse-cover legend before replacing a fuse.
