    Door panel lights

    I found door panel lights for my two door, I have the connector for the lights already in the door from factory, so I plugged them in, but they dont work. I checked for power and ground and had nothing, followed the connector and wires into the car and found a connector unplugged behind the glove box, couldnt find the other connector for it to plug into. does anyone know whether or not I have to get the harness out of the donor car or is the other end of the connector hiding where I cant see it? Thanks for reading.

    correction: It looks like it goes to a ground wire on the door, and the power wire is in the kick panel on the driver and passenger side. Still cant find the connector for it to plug into on either side.

      I think only the mercury and lincolns had that pre wired. I could be mistaken though. There's no connector in the door, the wire comes from the kick panel area IIRC and is wired into the door. I don't remember an intermediate connector on either the 82 Lincoln or the 88 Mercury I had. Both had door lights and the Lincoln was a Mark VI 2 door.

        Sly is on the level. You'll need to pull the harness and bulb from a Mercury or LTC and install on your car. That's what I did to my '85 LTD.

          Hate to add to the confusion....on my 87 CV two door it was almost fully wired in and I just had to get bulb socket and solder it into the existing harness....mercury panels/lenses and plug them in. They worked right away!

          Vague install back in 2017
