Hi all, so seem a bit stuck on something. I have just leased the above van and I can't seem to turn the LED lights off in the cargo bay. I have the doors open for work a lot and they don't even go off after a while. Can't seem to find a switch either.

Also be using it for the odd overnighter and want to leave the door open and don't want battery going flat.

Any ideas?

I can't install a switch or anything as it leased

Thanks
Brent

Pop the light unit out and pull the connector block? If its anything like the cargo unit light in a the VW they pull out easy enough, or pull the bulb.

Same on my 2017. Typical ford brain fart
They have a 2014 at work and that's terrible for it.
Probably a fuse that can be removed but then you have no light when you need it

A video I watched he clicked something on the door lock three times.He then could leave the door open and lock it with the key which turned the light off,I would of thought if the van had an alarm surely that would go off

I. Just checked because I thought it was (Mine is a crew cab though )
It is activated by the curtosey light in the cab
On mine it is by the one covering the rear seat not the drivers one.
I'm sure on my own van style it was on and off the same way

I had nearly the same issue with my van, The rear lights won't go down even I close the car. My battery went off over a night and It was the best morning I could ever had. The problem itself was the door lock, it was stuck or it wasn't closing enough to send the signal to the mainboard as the car is locked shutdown all the lights. This issue was easily fixed by a locksmith north west london, the guy just made some simple manipulation with the door locks, checked all the locks including the central locking key and that's all. The Locksmith Service was cheap enough, but a new battery for the van, well that one hurts.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
