4.13 Interior Lighting
4.13.1 Additional Internal Lamps
Additional cabin interior lighting may be obtained
by directly accessing the connector inside the
dome lamp in the cabin.
Additional load space interior lighting may be
obtained by directly accessing the connector inside
the load space lamps in the load space area.
CAUTION: The maximum total internal
lamp load must not exceed 5A (75W).
Power for the Interior Lights
- cabin and cargo
areas come from the battery save system (Body
Control Module pin C2-9), and for vehicles with
power locking, the circuit for each area is
controlled by a separate pin on the Body Control
Module (BCM):
•
Front (cabin) lights, pin C2-2
•
Rear (cargo) lights, pin C2-1
For additional information on BCM
Refer to: 4.2 Communications Network (page 68).
With manual locking vehicles, control of interior
lighting is done directly through the door contact
switches.
All
vehicles, however, utilize the battery
saver relay to provide power for internal lighting
for a limited time.
•
75W max output for front cabin lights
•
90W max output for rear cargo lights
•
105W battery save output
Each of these pins on the Body Control Module
can take a load of 75W. Lights that are controlled
by the battery save circuit will extinguish 30 to 180
minutes after ignition off (dependent on vehicle
configuration).
Fluorescent lighting must not be connected to the
existing interior cabin or cargo lighting as it is not
compatible with the pulse width modulated
(PWM) lighting circuit and may cause premature
failure of the Fluorescent lighting. If Florescent
lighting is required, it should be connected to the
Special Vehicle Option (SVO) Auxiliary Fuse Panel.
If enhanced bright lights are required for the cargo
area of a van, it is recommended to fit the Ford
Enhanced Load Space Lighting. Option A080 and
LED lamp part numbers 2x front BK2V-13776-A_
and 2x rear BK2V-13773-A_ , jumper wires may also
be required for updates. This is variant dependant
part numbers BKT2-14334-A_ or C_ . These are
controlled from the side load or rear door being
ajar or manual demand from the dome lamp in
the front cabin. The default setting is 30 minutes
from the battery saver system but this can be
changed up to 180 minutes. For further information
on required parts and configurations to order
contact your Local Ford Dealer.
4.13.2 Additional 'Theater Lighting'
for rear of vehicle interior
where higher wattage installations are required,
these should be taken through the SVO Auxiliary
Fuse Panel with a suitable switch and/or relay as
required. For additional information
