2015 ford transit presents with no start condition lose of fuel and code p0230 on further diagnosis found engine compartment fuse box to have multiple fuse terminals loose from the board. To be clear these do not appear as fuses loose from the terminal they go in, this is the terminal seems loose from the circuit board. Either way the effect is the same, causing them to lose power intermittently including the fuel pump creating a no start and or die while driving condition potentially causing loss of steering. Have video documenting the condition as well as two pictures included showing voltage fluctuating..
2015 Ford Transit electrical complaints

Follow-up to prior problem report on this VIN. After 24 hrs with battery disconnected, I reconnected battery. Prior problem did not reproduce and vehicle appeared to power-up normally. I used the key to successfully start and run the engine. But there were no instrument readings, tachometer read zero. I moved the key back to the off position, but the engine continued to run. The only way to kill the engine was to disconnect the battery cable. That means the defective module is not failing safe.
A control module began malfunctioning by first causing the headlights to come on spontaneously. The vehicle was parked (at home), headlight switch off, no key in ignition. After removing the battery negative cable, any attempt to reconnect the battery causes the starter motor to spontaneously energize and the engine to start running, again with no key in the ignition. I am able to always reproduce this malfunction. I immediately disconnect the battery each time, as I consider this malfunction to be potentially hazardous, and I cannot predict what further malfunction might ensue. I acquired this vehicle used ~12 months ago, and it has run normally until now. Current mileage ~81,700. There have been no modifications to the electrical system.
While I was driving, all the dashboard gauges quit working and the lights went off. I was driving at night so it was a little concerning since I couldn't see anything on my dashboard and the speedometer wasn't working. I was told the body control module is bad and after looking at forums, it seems this is an issue amongst many ford transit owners. It seems unsafe that that can happen while driving. I checked to see if there was a recall since it seems so many people have an issue and looks like there isn't.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford transit. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken for routine maintenance check at world ford/kendall (15551 w dixie hwy, miami, fl 33162, (800) 739-1959). After retrieving the vehicle, the contact drove the vehicle to his residence. The following day during rainy weather, while attempting to start the vehicle, the engine failed to turn over. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that water entered the electrical compartment causing the fuse to fail. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred during a rainy day. The contact mentioned the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v275000 (electrical system) as a possible solution to the failure however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 77,000. The VIN was not included.
The vehicle randomly developed hesitation to start one day as if it wasn't getting enough fuel or air. It did start and I drove home from work. I planned to take it to a dealership to get it checked out but the next day but the vehicle would not start. I attempted to jump-start but the battery was at full voltage. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership and they diagnosed the car. I was informed the next day by the technician that there was a tsb about this issue and that ford motor company was well aware of the problem and that it would cost me $850 plus tax. Apparently the cabin air filter is not properly weather sealed and under normal use water will make its way into the filter, and into the mass air sensor. Ford has made new replacement parts for this issue but because I am out of warranty by a few months, I will have to pay for the entirety of the bill. Had the part given out while driving (especially at high speeds) the engine would seize and could have likely caused a crash.
Sliding door alert keeps going off. Possible sensor or latch defect. Happens while driving over dips, bumps and while braking. Unable to read dash system panel while alert is on. Possible safety issue, as cannot see other alerts while this one is on, as it remains on the entire time I'm driving and is a distraction. Possible safety issue. Check engine light on fuel system sensor issues. After putting fuel in vehicle it has trouble restarting, causing me to fuel vehicle while started to remedy this. Possible fire hazard, could cause vehicle to catch fire resulting in explosion/death.
Cluster have massage fault filter is overloaded. I have change dpf filter and sensors 3 mines ago. And dpf sistem is working properly no any codes but cluster still have a massage
