Power lock switches don't light up - Page 3 - The Ford Focus Forum

**03_SPI_Sedan** · 08-20-2008, 11:38 AM

I've done this before. The driver side works great and is very easy, but turns off with the window switch and the passenger side I don't remember if I ever got it to work.

If you press the window switch the lock switch led turns off?

**Honda Hunter** · 02-01-2010, 11:17 AM

Is there still a guide for this?

The OP link is dead.

Instead of soldering the wire onto the switch terminals, why not just pin those 2 terminals in the connector, so you can actually unplug the switch in the future??

WELL, what a retard I am, I skipped page 2 yesterday!! Nice, you read my mind, er, well, I read yours. I don't know, Great minds think alike i guess. But anyway, that's exactly what I am probably gonna do.

since you guys are putting leds in lock switches and window switches, did you guys know that certain years of focus hatcu button can accept leds??

2000~2007 uses same hatch button but certain years, if you pull button assy out and take off button, you will see space to fit in 3mm led, i did this to my ride..
some got divider goes on the middle of hatch icon and some doesn't have..

just letting you guys know..

**Binky** · 02-05-2010, 12:47 PM

^^ cool!

**SVT04EAP** · 02-06-2010, 10:05 AM

how about the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel?

**focusonfocus** · 02-06-2010, 07:42 PM

i haven't taken apart the cruise button before, but it is possible..

**BrownZX3Kona** · 02-07-2010, 05:49 AM

Off topic, sorry, but, focusonfocus, nice car. That's the same car I just wrecked. I love that color, you don't see many of those.

**focusonfocus** · 02-07-2010, 05:22 PM

thank you and yes off topic, and here goes off topic from me..
i love dirt metallic color as well and that was only reason i wanted to keep my focus but i am getting rid of it within a month..and go with svt..

it will be red svt, only color i can find without sunroof..i might repaint back to dirt metallic or white later..

**BrownZX3Kona** · 02-08-2010, 12:27 AM

If you buy the paint, its technically called Birchwood Beige, and Ford doesn't even make the touch-up paint for it. I had to have some custom mixed last summer from a body shop supply store. Just a little FYI.

**focusonfocus** · 02-08-2010, 01:11 AM

it is called briarwood beige..
i painted bumper, hood vent, roof scoop, hatch strip and interiors with it..

Thank you for posting this! I didn't think this was possible since mine is painted... do you know approximately like what year range this can be found on? I know the 2000-2001 cars usually have small things like this that Ford decontented in the later years, so maybe it's from them?

**focusonfocus** · 02-09-2010, 08:47 PM

i honestly don't know which year it came from..
i was making gauge pod goes on coin tray and sold few here..
when i bought bezels, all came with buttons and realized difference..
