I have recently picked up my 2012 Zetec S Fiesta. Having used this site for a couple of weeks to make up my mind on the Fiesta I came across footwell lights. I checked under the glovebox and under drivers area and I have the holders and they are all wired in, excellent, or so I thought. Put in a couple of bulbs and nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why they are not coming on? Fuses etc.
All help greatly appreciated.

Not when you turn it on with the switch, just every other time.

If you've fitted LED lights, they are polarity conscious....
