Mk3 Focus Interior Light

Hi all :)

Cant seem to figure out how to set the interior lights in my Focus at the moment;

just simply want to set them to come on when the doors open....for some reason though, they only do so during the day?? gets kind of annoying at night!

I tried resorting to the manual but its just a load of guff- Cant believe such a thing would be a head scratcher <_<

Thanks!

    Usually the light interior light switch is left in the middle position for the lights to come on when a door is opened, the other 2 positions are on all the time and off all the time.

    Yeah, that used to be the case Stormin but they've changed that format now :rolleyes: They only give you 2 buttons now; Permanently on, and 'Off when doors open' - which doesn't seem to make any difference! (i'll provide a pic when i can!)

    ahhhh never thought about browsing through the menus :rolleyes:
