Ambient Lighting

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Mercury Mariner and 2008 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The ambient lighting feature provides illumination of the cup holders, storage tray and the storage bin in the center floor console and to the front and rear footwell areas. There are a total of 8 LED lighting locations. The ambient lighting feature is only available when the ignition key is in the RUN or ACCESSORY position.

The ambient lighting module provides voltage and ground to the LEDs. There are 3 different color (red, blue and green) LEDs 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 ambient lighting 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.
