Ford transit custom DPF LED how to fit one and explaining how it works

[@blackfriendlygiant]

Literally just done mine this evening. Thanks a lot for the how to.

[@johnshomegarage7828]

Your welcome:-)

[@ianfreeth39]

Thank you very much for this. Works like you said. Its sod's flaming law that the LED comes on just as i get to site, but at least I have the option of just turning the engine off or drive around for another 20 mins. Its a pain in the back side but I'm on my 3rd DPF now in 2 years. Very expensive nonsense. I can keep an eye on it now and hopefully avoid replacing the DPF any time soon. Thanks again.

[@johnshomegarage7828]

Glad it’s helped you. The DPF is nonsense as you say tho

[@aaronbell8527]

Get it mapped out there a waste of time

[@TheSkyedoggy]

Thanks bud for that , well explained.

[@johnshomegarage7828]

No problem glad to help mate

[@kevinrobson7912]

Thanks for the video. Do you know if its possible to just use a fuse tap on the heated screen fuse instead? Its probably easier than soldering wires etc.

[@johnshomegarage7828]

Yes that would work :-)

[@kevinrobson7912]

@@johnshomegarage7828 Yes, it does, did it a couple of months ago.

Is there a way to get the standard heated screen light to come on when it does a regen?

[@chrisbow1776]

Cheers for this. Think I might be doing this. It is annoying how our customs tell us everything from low washer fluid to a blown bulb, but in Fords wisdom they did not think to give us an indicator to say if and when the vans are doing a regen. Thinking if I do this I will be taking it to my auto electrician. I tlooks a easy mod, but thinking one of those jobs where you thin, WHY THE FUK DID I START THIS, FOOKING CLIPS!!!! fucken plastic trim, fuk it, argggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[@johnshomegarage7828]

No problem did you get it done mate

[@aaronbell8527]

How does it work when you only connect to the window screen wires ?

[@johnshomegarage7828]

The power goes to the screen so it powers the light on :-) hope this helps mate

[@vitalis4285]

thanks!

[@gregd72002]

wondering if it's possible to wire it to the actual windscreen heater button so it shines when it kick in. This way would not need to buy extra LED

[@johnshomegarage7828]

It’s possible yes not looked in to it tho

Is yours a 2.0 please

[@johnshomegarage7828]

Yes it is :-)

[@1987pagey]

Will this work on a 2.2

[@1987pagey]

Worked a treat

[@steventyson6677]

What wire do I connect to please if no heated screen. Don’t have that thick yellow wire

[@johnshomegarage7828]

Have you got heated mirrors

[@steventyson6677]

No I don’t think so. It’s the base model

[@carlwillcock2203]

@@johnshomegarage7828 Just looking into this. I have heated wing mirrors on a 2016 custom 2.2. Does it work from them?

[@rikkipearce7383]

@@steventyson6677 did you manage to do it as I also have a base model with no heated mirror or screen

[@dorincatan3815]

I have the same "Invention" sometimes it lights up on its own for a few seconds and goes out, it doesn't look like regeneration and I don't even turn on the heating. Has anyone happened to that ?

[@johnshomegarage7828]

Mine only come on when it was regeneration could well be a fault
