Ambient Lighting by the Footwell


Recommended Posts

Does the footwell lighting is included in the 2016 Titanium Edge?

 

If so where is the control for it?

 

My old 2013 Edge Limited had the control on the MFT screen and I could switch to 6 different colors. On the 2016 Titanium the MFT does not have anything for ambient lighting or lights

Any options in the instrument cluster for lighting? The Titanium and Sport are listed in the brochure as having ambient lighting, so I'd hope that's actually true.

 

EDIT: You have Sync3, right? I think if you are on the Home Screen, you will see SETTINGS in the lower right hand corner. Select that, then look for the AMBIENT LIGHTING option. You can adjust from there.

 

Tap a color once to active ambient lighting.
This sets the color to the highest intensity.
You can drag the colors up and down to
increase or decrease the intensity.
To switch ambient lighting off, press the
active color once or drag the active color
all the way down to zero intensity.

 

The manual is available here:

Pg 97

 

It is unfortunate the thing is so skimpy on pics.

I understand what you are saying but in my 2016 Edge I don’t have anything similar

 

Yes I have Sync3 and on my screen when I touch the “Settings” I get 8 squares on the screen (Sound, Clock, Bluetooth, 911 Assist, Navigation, Mobile Apps, General and Voice Control)

 

When I touch on the “General Square” I get: Language, Distance, Temperature, Touch Screen Beep, Auto System Updates, About, Software Licences and. Main Reset. There is nothing about Lights or Ambient Lights

 

On the left instrument cluster I do have an entry for Lights but the only option on this entry is to adjust how many seconds the lights stay on after you open a door etc.

 

The footwells and the bottom of the doors are lit when I open any door but when I close the doors all these lights go OFF.

 

Thanks for the manual, its handy to have it on .PDF format

This DID the trick ONEDGE16, wow, I dont have page 2 but looking on the screen I touched it and swept with my finger to the left and there I can see the extra icons for Ambient Light, WiFi, Vallet and one more which I forget.what it was. Now I can check all the other screens in the same way to see what else I can discover, LOL

 

Much appreciated

Where is the drivers side foot well lighting located on the 2018 Titanium.

Great information.  Thank you.  I recently purchased the Ford Ambient light kit CL8Z-13E700-AA for my 2018 Edge SEL.  The only installation instructions I can find is for a 2013 Edge.  In those instructions it says to tap in for power  at the BCM connector C2280E Pin 6  Yellow/Blue parking light circuit.   Would this be the same for the 2018 Edge or looking at your diagram would I use the BCM connector C2280G Pin 2  Parking Lamp switch?   Before I start installing this I want to make sure I know exactly where to get the power from.  Dealer wants $200 to install it.  

Thanks for your help.

Great.  Thanks.   Connector C2280F pin 12 shows Control Mod. Park.  Is this the parking light?  Would you happen to have the diagrams for Connectors C2280B and C2280E?   Thanks again for your help.  Seems like there is multiple locations to tap in for the parking lamps on different connectors.
