Hi, I paid a professionnel but still have a prob with the light.
Here what I read on internet but I dont understand well.
"
The orange wire is the illumination wire and is not connected to the head unit wiring harness, just tape off the end. There is an orange wire on the head unit wiring harness marked ILL. And this will be wired directly to a line source that goes from 0V to 12V when the head light switch is turned on. The illumination wire dims the head unit when you turn on your headlights. Without it, the head unit is too bright at night. Ford uses a CAN-bus system for the car’s electrical system and the orange wire that we taped off doesn’t work as needed for the ILL wire of the head unit wiring harness, thus the need for a direct line source. The red, yellow, and black wire match up to corresponding colored wire on the head unit wiring harness. "
If you ca help me by simplify the text so I can understand
Thx
My english is not to good and I dont understand that orange wire they say not to connect it and later they say to connect to a power source I beleive. But where ?
Thx for your help
The orange wire is what tells the unit that you have turned the lights on. Then the unit dims the screen/illuminates any buttons that might be on it. I don't know why there isn't a connection for it on the factory wiring harness. When I installed my unit I had the same problem. If you want to fix it you will have to tap into the wire that turns on your head lights. I didn't bother trying to fix it. All of the functions on mine are through the touch screen so it didn't bother me. And if you want the screen to be dimmer you can just adjust it manually if its really bothering you.
