Description
When removing and reapplying door seals take
care to fit correctly, using the same seals as this
is critical to door closing efforts. Any modification
to the sealing flanges or surfaces will require
consultation with your local Ford dealer or Vehicle
Converter Advisory Service (VCAS@ford.com).
This may also include air extraction/venting
adjustments to assist door close efforts if
significant changes to closures are required.
The Body Control Module is designed to work
specifically with the Ford Transit lock and latch
mechanisms and therefore drives latches to lock
and unlock for specific time periods. Additional
power locking functionality should be based
around the use of additional Ford Transit latch
mechanisms. Additional latches can be driven via
relays connected in parallel with existing latches.
The following figures outline the areas in which it
is not advisable to drill.
