Where is the jack in the Ford Transit Courier?
The jack is usually stored under the load floor in the rear cargo area with the spare wheel. If your Transit Courier uses a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel, there is no traditional jack.
The Transit Courier can be equipped either with a spare wheel or with a tyre inflation/repair kit, and the exact location of the jack (if present) depends on that configuration. This article explains how to locate the jack for both setups and what to expect if there is no jack at all.
Identifying your configuration
First determine whether your van carries a spare wheel or a tyre repair kit. Look for a floor panel in the cargo area and for a spare wheel cover or a toolkit bag.
Spare wheel configuration — how to locate the jack
Use these steps to access the spare wheel and jack in models that include a spare wheel.
- Park on a flat surface, apply the parking brake, and switch off the engine.
- Open the rear doors and lift the load-floor panel in the cargo area.
- Remove the spare wheel cover to reveal the spare wheel, jack, and wheel brace.
- Take out the jack and wheel brace from their storage position beside or on the spare wheel.
- Place the jack near the recommended jacking point on the vehicle and follow Ford's instructions to lift the vehicle safely.
Note: Always consult your owner’s manual for the exact jacking points and safety precautions for your specific model year and configuration.
Tyre repair kit configuration — no traditional jack
Some Transit Courier models omit a spare wheel and include a tyre inflation/repair kit instead. In this case, there is no jack in the vehicle. Instead, use the inflator/sealant kit provided to temporarily repair a punctured tyre, and follow the manual for driving limitations or call for assistance.
- Locate the tyre inflator kit, usually stored in a side pocket or under the floor in the cargo area.
- Follow the kit’s instructions to seal and inflate the tyre to the recommended pressure.
- If the tyre cannot be safely repaired, contact roadside assistance or replace the wheel at a service center.
Even with a repair kit, it’s essential to get a permanent repair or replacement as soon as possible.
Summary
To locate the jack in a Ford Transit Courier, check your configuration. If you have a spare wheel, it sits under the load floor in the rear cargo area, with the jack and wheel brace stored alongside. If you have a tyre repair kit, there is no jack in the vehicle, and you’ll rely on the kit for temporary repairs. Always confirm with your owner’s manual for your exact vehicle year and trim, as configurations can vary by market and production year.
