around light gator the too how gear ambient

how too AMBIENT LIGHT AROUND THE GEAR GATOR
Strange how you've got 12v on one side of the connector and 3.5v the otherside. Sounds like the ambient light is faulty. You could try putting 12v onto straight onto the ambient light connector.

Ive tried wiring the LEDs for the doors to the window switch and the LED around the gear gator to the headlight switch and both work but they are always ON and they dont turn off no matter what until the driver's door is opened to cut the circuit off. any suggestions? the headlight control doesn't turn off the LED either.
please advise.

I followed this and connected to pin 9 but the light doesn't dim and is on all the time it I use pin it dims.

I can't remember if the ambient lighting dims and is controlled from the headlight switch or not.

Ambient lighting is controlled by headlights mate as it only comes on with lights on.

Pin 7 is also LED lighting if you have EPB so you should be fine. ground for that should be pin 8 tho.

No worries. Yes mate. Have to push the purple plug up (as it's the secondary locking lug) then if unfold a paper clip into a U you can use that to press then locking pins in and slide the pin out.

If you want some pics of what I mean let me know.

I'm trying to find something small enough that people would have around the home as the paper clip is too big for the holes on this plug.

Unless you fancy buying this

Are the wires matching I referred you to the post so you could check the plug it could be you need to swap the wires around.

Yes tried dimmer doesn’t brighten it up there is 12v on car plug side and 3.5v coming out led side I think the eco is consoling it don’t no if it’s something Vauxhall’s would have to do, but you can take feed right from fag lighter and it will work

I meant to write ecu is controlling it

Yes but no luck. On the big connector I had only two wires (black and white), so I had to take the power from headlight switch. After that, works like charm, even dimming. Thanks!
