Tristan82 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi, can anyone tell me where I plug in the wire to the gear knob, I have taken off both sides of the centre console but can't locate it. I have a mk3 focus titanium Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 There is no connector for the illuminated gear knob. The illuminated gear knob should come with a wiring harness and an installation manual how to connect it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 On the mk2 you use the spare orange wire from the 12v socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan82 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I've got the wire coming from the gear knob, but I can't find where to plug it into, there is meant to be a harness behind the centre console but can't seem to find it, or maybe my car doesn't have one.

Stoney871 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Live wire to the orange wire taped to the power socket loom and earth to any body mounted bolt/screw. The knob will illuminate with sidelights and main lights on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan82 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 So it's not plug and play then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 In the original Ford illuminated knob kit there is a length of splice wire with a plug on one end and 3 bare wires on the other end (black/red/green). Whether you attach red or green to the live feed decides the illumination colour. The knob wiring plugs into the connector on the end of the splice wire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan82 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I don't have any loose wires, they are connected to a plug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turvey Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Cut the plug off, then you'll have loose wires ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_60 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 its burried deep in the console (gear lever surrounding), covered in black wiring loom tape, but it is there if you have big hands i feel sorry for you, Jamie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan82 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 I finally found the connector, it was taped to another set of wires behind the centre console on the passanger side. Thanks for all your help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr1vate Piles Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Out of curiosity, how much did the gear knob set you back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan82 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 £85 from ford parts uk, a bit on the expensive side but it does look good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pr1vate Piles Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 £85 from ford parts uk, a bit on the expensive side but it does look good. Can't disagree with you there. It's a mod I'm getting around to doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
