I've mounted the LED footwell lights [CBS LED type] on the bottom of the dashboard under-trays.
This was done via a microswitch fixed onto the door hinge bracket. And when the hinge interrupted the microswitch when the door opens, the relevant footwell light should come on.
For this, I managed to remember where I squirrelled away the two loom door wires (wires 13 & 22 (PW)).
And after what seemed like another age of faffing around, all was ready for testing.
Switched on the power, manually operated the microswitch… nothing… Fuse okay, continuity between the three relevant circuits (near side, offside and boot (PW) wires and earth) okay.
Then, after an hour or so I concluded that the circuit was dead… inert… bereft of life… Not a electron flowing anywhere!
So it was time to get serious, and another couple of hours later after scouring the loom diagrams and trawling through my library of photos, I discovered there was no power pin on multiplug D (dash loom)… Or conversely, the pin feeding the PW on multi-lug ‘E’ was connected to thin air.
Bridged the 2P terminal on the male multiplug ‘E’ to the relevant female terminal on multiplug ‘D’, and the electrons flowed like a good-un. And all is well for when I put a light in the boot. (But not yet though!)
