Wiring Diagram Ambient Lights

[CHrisin]

Hi everyone
I want to retrofit ambient lights on my Ranger 2021 and I need a wiring diagram for the ambient lights, can you help me?
Thanks

Well, Most of us have the US version, not sure how much is shared with the Eu version.

Not sure what you want to do, but this thread may help.
A owner got creative and modified the lights

Modifications to the Ambient lights is a challenge due to the fact that the light output (Intensity and Color) control is on the (LIN) circuit.
This circuit is also monitored by a FET, so any changes in voltage output affects the circuit.

Thanks, I saw it, I want to know which connector and pin in the BCM the door ambient lights are connected to, I know that the footwell lamps are connected to the C2280G Pin 13 connector and to the C2280F Pin 4, but the door ambient lighting is controlled separately and that's what I need. The US and EU versions have the same BCM. My track has ready door wiring for Ambient lights, I connected the original RGB LED Lights to them which I bought from the Dealer and activated in Forscan but they do not light up, there is probably no wiring between the BCM and the A-pillar

I know with the RS when we were looking into adding rear fog lights, the BCM "is the same". They added a headlight switch with the rear fog light button and the dash would indicate it, but there was never any output from the BCM on the pin that should go to the rear fog light. My 2016 Focus RS electrical manual had a lot of European wiring info in it (not sure why as that is not normal), but even though the US market RS came off the same line in Germany as the rest of the world's RSs, ours had something different in the BCM programming or something that prevented it from working for us.

But, from my 21 Ranger US market manual. I'm seeing the LIN connection for the front door release ambient lamp controls, both left and right, connect to the BCM on C2280D pin 38 (VDN13 circuit ID and BN/WH color code)

[BCM]>C2280D/38> -VDN13(BN/WH)- >C275/20> --VDN13(BN)- >C213/13> -VDN13(BN)- <C556/2<[FRONT DOOR RELEASE AMBIENT LAMP LH]
                                           \-VDN13(BN)- >C238/10> -VDN13(BN)- <C620/2<[FRONT DOOR RELEASE AMBIENT LAMP RH]

The door handle lights are on a separate LIN control- they change color when door is open (red) I think, with door closed they match your ambient color (selected) to match the rest of the lights
This is the reason for separate LIN circuit
