Alright, following up on my last comment - do you know the operating voltage of the LEDs you used? I'm about to tackle this in my Mk7 but all the SMD suppliers here want to know the operating voltage of the diodes (I see in the eBay listings that the forward voltage is 2.0-2.2v, but I guess that's different). I assume it's 12v since it's automotive, but want to make sure before I spend a bunch of money on diodes. Thanks again!
@MendItModIt3 күн бұрын
They won’t be 12v, 2.0-2.2v seems about right, there may be some variation depending on the type of led and possibly differences between colours but they should be around the 2-3v range. There are resistors on the PCB’s to lower the voltage appropriately for the LEDs. 12v will cook them instantly 😂

@@MendItModIt word, thanks. The low trim models of the mk7 Fiesta in the US have red LEDs on everything, but not everything is plug and play (the dimmer switch from a Fiesta Titanium causes a BCM error and all the dash lights to flicker on a Fiesta ST, or at least the one I got did) so I’m really having a hell of a time with all this since the resistors and voltages are all different.

Hello there, I just wanted to say, your video was a lot of help to me. I knew what to expect and the whole job was like 4 hours, would be a lot more without you. Because I knew about that cable connector (thanks to you) I knew what to expect and was able to disconnect it in a few minutes, without cutting the cables. Even after 3 years your videos are a big help to people thanks the effort you put in.

Big Thanks to you for this video that "saved my life". I had my Ford Fiesta 2005 with a blower making alarming noises. This noisy blower was installed by my mechanic that changed the faulty original one with a fan recovered from junkyard. He said that it was impossible to find a new blower for this old car because the original Ford spare part would have cost me hundreds of euros (!). The problem was that this "new" blower worked but was noisy as hell. So I went on almosta a year with this horrible noisy fan. Then I started to think that maybe a little greasing could have improved the situation. So i searched online and I found you video. After viewing the video I took courage and embarked on the task of dismantling the noisy fan it to see if I could fix the problem. After a lot of curses I managed to disassemble the fan. I tried with electrical motor lube and then I temporarily reassembled the fan (only two screws and without the moving cover). The noise was still there. So I searched with google and I found a online shop in my country (Italy) that was selling the right fan for my car model at an affordable price. So I bought the fan (45 Euro) and then I assembled it (with a lot of curses again) and now it works like a swiss watch. I thik I watched your video at least 10 times to memorize where the parts and the screws are located. A thousand thanks to you

stumbled onto this while trying to figure out what, if any, options there were for the Mk7. I'm not sure what it's like in the UK, but in the US, the HVAC lights are teal green, the radio lights are white, and the gauge cluster is red and white - none of it matches and it's annoyed me since day one. I might feel brave enough to take this on now. Unfortunately it looks like everything in the Mk7 is a super tiny SMD.
