C3k Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Hi all. Ive installed led footwell lights on my 3 door focus mk2 2006. I wired the pos into the dome light fuse and grnd into the stereo ground. The footwell lights stay on all the time. On, off, locked, unlocked. The dome light works as it should, on with fob or door open and then dim out. The led footwells dont. What have i done wrong? I want them to work with the dome lights. Thanks (Will the battery saver cut them out after 20 mins?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C3k Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Please elaborate, I don't understand what you mean? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 There are 2 live feeds to the dome light.One is permanent live that works with the switch and the other one is the circuit that operates with the opening of the doors.You need to swap the live feed to your footwell lights to the other terminal on the twin wired connector.Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C3k Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Thanks. I just pushed the wires in with the 'interior light' fuse as the addacircuit didn't push in right. Where is the twin wired connector? Do I need to go to the pillar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Attach Positive cable to the single connector marked 'Switched Live'. Attach earth cable to connector marked 'Earth' As per pictures below- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Run the cables under the dash and up behind the A pillars, just pull the rubber seal out until clear of the pillar and you'll have enough space to run the cables without removing the pillar covers. Continue the run up over the windscreen behind the headlining and to behind the courtesy light. You can use scotchlocks to attach the wires if wanted but a better option is to cut the wires and use a chocblock or solder/crimp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C3k Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Thanks for helping Stoney. Much appreciated. Now I need more wire! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C3k Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hey guys. Just to make sure, as my fitting is slightly different from the pics Stoney posted. Is it still the single connector that is switched live? Is it ok to leave the earth wires connected to stereo earth? Is that white wire in the pics standard/original? Thanks again.

C3k Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 This pic is exactly right. My fault trying to leave ground behind stereo. It must go to black/yellow. Thanks again Stoney m8 👏👏👏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
