CAN bus on Fiesta 2009

Post by Specus »

Hi all,

Does anyone know whether my Fiesta 1.25 Zetec uses a CAN bus system as I want to fit an LED bulb to the boot light and footwells and have heard they have to be "special" error free bulbs if fitted to a CAN bus system.

Thanks in advance guys.

Just another quick question...my Fiesta has the pack in that slowly dims the interior lights...would that be a problem if using the LED bulbs?

Pretty sure that should still be fine. Fade will still work. If it was fluoro bulbs then they would either be on or off.
