mcfcjoe Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Gents can someone please confirm that the electric handbreak has to be on for the edge light on the door sill and the puddle light to come on. I am sure before they did the curtain recall I didn't have to ensure the handbreak was on for them to work . thanks Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb65 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I've got an 210PS Auto, for them to work it has to be in 'Park'. Doesn't matter if the e-handbrake is on or off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfcjoe Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Thanks. My e-handbreak has to on for them to work....very strange indeed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb65 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Is yours Auto or Manual? I could understand if it was a manual as an Auto box effectively locks the transmission in park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfcjoe Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Yes mine is a manual ....does anyone else have a manual with the same lights as me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanisla2 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 If you have MANUAL transmission the hand brake needs to be ON before the puddle lights come on. It cidded me for a while. It's a shame the hand brake doesn't come on automatically when you stop the engine on the button. Now if you want some really bright puddle light try these. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311933700878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim610 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I have a manual MY17 model and the puddle lights/door sill lighting go on and off with the hand brake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge of Reason Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It seems universal that puddle lights and sill lights do not operate on a manual model, unless the handbrake is set or on an auto model, unless it's in park. If anyone has a result other than this, then please post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
