Connected2009 Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 These days I think you will find that all cars have a full loom fitted. So all the plugs, sockets and wires are there it's just that some are not used. Colin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simoncastle89 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Just had a quick look on mine and there is nothing, unless the wire and socket have been tucked up some where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanyo Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 well, i actually don't have the ambient lighting option in the vehicle menu on the HU. i just checked if i have the footwell lights sockets underneath my dash.. luckily, i have them and tried filling them in with bulbs. then as soon as i fill them with bulb, they lit up as courtesy lights (door opened, unlocked car, engine just turned off). then i bought a strip LED lights then tap them to the footwell lights wiring..that's it.. just check if you have those footwell bulb sockets underneath the dash plastics. Just recently, i've got my new Fiesta, and checked for footwell lights sockets. This may seem weird, but sockets are there and they're wired. I have tried filling them with W5W red bulbs, but it seems that there is no power since they do not light up. Furthermore in the menu i haven't got ambient lighting option. My car is a mid spec fiesta built in 2010(germany) with automatic air-conditioning, bt/vc/usb radio options. I think that the footwell sockets are not enabled in the GEM module. I am now wondering how to get it working, any help would be appreciated. p.s. Sorry for my english, not from UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul If you've got mk6 fiesta, then all you need is just to put the missing fuse that activates the footwell lightning. I've had found a thread about it on this forum, just google it :) Also you should check your manual, there is a section about fuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanyo Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Did you put the bulbs in the other way round as well? They only work 1 way. Just tried both ways, without success :( I guess they're disabled by in the GEM.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 same here sanyo, ive got a basic model mk7 fiesta, got the bulb holders and all wired up, but just doesnt work. Really want them to work, how could we go about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really want them to work, how could we go about it? well, one way could be to take the car to the local ford dealership and ask them if they can enable it via Ford IDS. The second way is to wire it to the courtesy light or some other active source, theres a thread about it already on this forum... The last time i was at dealership, they just told me that its not part of my spec, and that its not enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odyssey Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 A picture says more than a thousand words :) I recently bought my Fiesta (danish model "Trend" - I think it's pretty much similar to a Zetec). Sockets are there, just underneath the glovebox and similar in the driver side. Popped a (regular) W5W bulb in, and it worked right away. Next step is to find some good coloured LED's for this purpose. Any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
