Ambient Lighting

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Milan, 2009 Lincoln MKZ, and 2009 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ambient lighting feature provides illumination to the center console cupholder, the storage bin, and the front and rear footwells. There are a total of 7 LED locations. The ambient lighting feature is powered by the accessory delay relay, which allows the ambient lighting feature to be used independent of the parking lamps status.

The ambient lighting module provides voltage and ground to the LEDs. There are 3 different color LEDs (red, blue, and green) housed within each LED assembly. By illuminating various color combinations, the LEDs are able to produce 7 different colors of ambient light. The ambient lighting switch is an input to the ambient lighting module. With each press of the switch, the ambient lighting module cycles through a different color variation or turns the ambient lighting feature off. The module retains the last color setting between uses.
