Hi guys. New to the forum as I've just picked up my 61 plate zetec tdci today.

Already a snag!!!!!!!!

Now this may be something I've done, but the problem I have is this --

Just put the car away in the garage & I've noticed that the footwells are lit up with white lighting. Now no matter what I do,
these lights will not go off. I set the courtesy light switch to 'B' as stated in the manual so this should ( I assume) go out
30 secs after locking the car - as stated in the book.

But no.

Anyone have any ideas please or shall I be on the phone to my dealer asap?

Thanks for any advice/tips,

Regards,

Steve.

PS. I just took the 2 white bulbs out for now.

Checked the boot isn't open a little bit

I'd just take it back, if you can't work it out.. Will probably be an easy fix

I've made sure all the doors & tailgate are shut.

I'll phone the dealer in the morning I think.

Thanks for the reply.

Steve.

Have you tried leaving it for longer like a few mins to see if it's goes out?

If not would ring dealer too, just to make sure there's something where missing!

Ps. Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the welcome.

Yes, left it locked for a good 5 mins with no luck. I'll speak to the dealer soon & post the outcome here.

Cheers.

Hi guys - a quick update.
Managed to get the Fiesta in with the dealer today. A couple of hours in & still not sorted.
Going back in on Tues - they'll keep it for a couple of days to try & get to the bottom of it.
Keep you informed.
Steve.

All's now sorted.

After 2.5 days investigation & stripping, it turn out that a wiring loom was trapped against some trim
hence not being able to diagnose the problem in the normal way.

Anyway, good job done on an otherwise great little car.

Cheers guys !!!

Glad it's sorted!

Got mine in too.. Well happy with them!
