Ford Transit 2012: Power loss, battery problems and electrical faults - What could it be?

Hi, I'm not a car mechanic, but I do have some experience with cars. I had a similar problem with my Ford Galaxy (built in 2010), defect in individual parts in the high-voltage system, just as you say. The good news: I didn't have to pay anything at my garage, thanks to the warranty. They fixed it free of charge, so 0 euros. Can you give us more information about your battery? How old is it and when was it last changed? That might help to give a more thorough answer.

(Translated from German)

Thanks for your quick reply. I think my battery is about 4 years old. I can't say for sure exactly when it was last changed, but my last major inspection was at 140536 km. The battery was also tested then and found to be good. Maybe it has given up the ghost since then? Thanks for any further tips!

Hey, no problem! Well, a 4 year old battery could be the culprit, especially if you've noticed that it weakens when starting. There could of course be other causes, but an old or weak battery would be my first guess. My advice would be to have your battery tested at a garage. It's done pretty quickly and then you'll know exactly whether it's still good or whether you need a new one. The high-voltage system faults could also be related to the battery not supplying enough juice. It's best to make an appointment at the workshop and have it checked. Good luck with that!

Hey, thanks for your advice. I'll head to the garage and have the battery checked. It would be great if that's the cause and I don't have any more problems with the high-voltage system. I'll keep you up to date. See you then!
