MK7 Won’t Start No ignition Lights

[Altransit]

Basically it’s fuse 66 isn’t getting a constant live feed so the van fails to start or turn.

Way to test is stick a light probe into that fuse then watch what happens when you try turning it over. If light stays on it’s not the same issue. If it off or intermittent it’s causing the key to not be recognised I think. A broken wire between fuse 66 and ignition barrel or something.

That all seems to be clear enough, at least to get the van going again. This is Fuse 66, the 5amp fuse in the top row of the BCM fuse board (It's behind the passenger fuse box, for anyone looking for it)
The question is, why is the power to the fuse being intermittent? I suppose that needs to be traced back to whatever is supplying that fuse

Thanks for posting back Nkxtc

A break in a wire at bulkhead or a faulty BCM is what I thought. The van lasted me about 6 months then sold it with the issue clearly explained and the van still drives today.

its not a mechanics job its an auto sparks job that's why the garage could not cure it

I have the same problem on my Mk7 2008 transit. Could you post what you did to solve it. Not sure what you mean when you say to get a live feed from a switch. What did you use?
Many thanks.
