Lenny Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Haha - mate of mine has just picked up a 59 plate Focus Estate...really wanted footwell lights so asked me to have a look Bulb holders present, but no power to them lol As it's a taxi, can't go faffing about with wiring lol They just need to be activated on the GEM Ford can do this next time its connected to the computer, Not sure if elmconfig software works on mondeo with modified ELM327 but if it does then you can activate them yourself, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 He's renting it as a taxi so can't really do it unless he gets authorisation from his boss/car owners I'll just keep reminding him that I have 'em and he hasn't lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be 7 screws: Once that's out the way you'll be looking at this mass of wires: Flop this thing up so you got a clear look at things: And directly behind it you should find the 2 wires for the foot-well light: It will be easy to distingquish them from everything else as they'll be the only ones in the area wrapped in loom tape. So peal some of this back and you'll find em. Then just thread your rear foot-well light loom up though a gap in the from foot-well. So should these two wires be separate from everything else, assistance appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if you don't have power in the loom see Guide here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You now have two options. Option A Run a feed to the interior light loom Splice blue for positive Black for negative This will power the footwell lighting when doors are opened etc. Option B Purchase an illuminated ignition ring light The come supplied with loom to filter the cables on the interior light. So you can splice the footwell lighting to the ignition ring . Ciao Lenny, I kindly ask your help. I’m trying to install front footwell lights on my CMax 2012 plus. There’s no bulb socket on both driver and passenger side. I tried to check the link you posted above but some items are not on sale anymore. Anyway, as I’m not experienced I this kind of electrical jobs, I ask you how and where can I connect the new wiring for the front footwell light so that they turn on once I open the doors? Could you please help me? thanks a lot really! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
