Ford Transit 2016: Electrical problems and possible defect in terminal 30

Hey, I had similar problems with my 2013 Ford Focus. You know, my lights were also dim and the starter was struggling. As it turned out, my battery sensor was faulty. This little thing has a big job - it communicates with your on-board computer and can cause problems like low battery and flickering lights. And you're right, it's also related to the disconnection of terminal 30. My mechanic had to replace the battery sensor and my car ran fine after that. It was a pretty serious problem, but fortunately not a total loss. I hope this helps you. Have a safe journey!

Hey, thanks for your tip! Seems really plausible with the battery sensor. Do you happen to remember what you paid for the repair? And has everything gone smoothly since then or have there been any other surprises? Thank you for your help!

Hey, of course I remember. It cost me 315 euros to repair the battery sensor. I thought it was a bit steep at first, but since then my car has been fit again. And yes, you're right, it also had something to do with the disconnection of terminal 30. But since I've been to the mechanic, the problem has been solved. No more surprises so far! Hope that helps you for now. Good luck with the repair, and hope your Transit runs smoothly again afterwards!

Hey, great! That helps me a lot. Thanks for the detailed explanation and your experience. I'm relieved to hear that there were no further surprises. It's reassuring to know that there's no great risk of damage, but 315 euros is of course quite a lot of money. But if my Transit runs like clockwork again afterwards, then it's definitely worth the price. Thanks again for your help. I'll let you know how it looks after the visit to the mechanic. All the best and safe driving!
