2011 Ford Transit Connect Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2011 Ford Transit Connect has two very different drivelines to account for: the 2.0L DOHC inline-four running naturally aspirated on gasoline, and a battery-electric drive offered alongside it. Both go into the same four-door mini passenger van and four-door mini cargo van shells, and four trims are listed, Electric, XL, XLT and XLT Premium. Specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics are set out system by system, which matters most on a van where the high-voltage version shares its body with the gasoline one.

Known issues on the 2011 Transit Connect. A single recall is on federal record for this model year, and it concerns wiper arms that may not have been riveted adequately, leaving the windshield incompletely cleared or letting the arm come off altogether. Owners have filed 24 complaints with NHTSA, and the largest group, six of them, names the wipers and visibility, with the power train and the electrical system each accounting for four more. Wiper linkage, glass and body wiring work all appear in this manual, along with the driveline diagnostics those other entries point toward.
