Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Aesthetics lighted moonroof?

I was the first one to do this and write the how too with bill jenkins. Read The how too again. It sounds like you tapped into a hot wire. If i remember right ( it being 2 years now) i tapped into the hot wire for the moon roof. I am pretty sure that mine doesn't light until it is in the run possition. acc it is off.

For recontenting the door handle hit your local radio shack and pick up some 12v LED's. i think the y are 2 bucks a pack. you have to modify the interor bezzel in the door. for fitment. again hit a wire that is only hot when the ignition is in the on position. i think i tapped into a window wire.

good luck

the how to should be updated

when i ordered the stuff from bill he told me i needed two D79's because the swithches have 3 connections on the bottom

I only needed 1 of the connectors from Bill. Hmmm, I agree, I think you tapped into the wrong wire. Mine comes on when the ignition is on, the same as the power window and lock switches. And is off the rest of the time. I followed the instructions in the How-to to a "t" and have had no problems.

Yes , let me clarify my previous statement :

Mine is on any time the ignition is switched on , not just when the lights are on . I followed the How-To & used only one D79 connector .

hey eric and Y2KMondeoSVT when did you do yours i did mine earlier this month and when i ordered them bill said the switches are a new design that is why i needed to d79's

in the pic the new switch has 2 terminals on the bottom but mine has three

anyone else have the one i have

I bought my switch & D79 back in March , shortly after I bought my SVT . Just took me that long to get up the guts to cut the headliner to install my Mystique rear light at the same time . I just bought the switch & stuff (called for in the How-To) down at my local dealer .

I did mine this last summer, but had the parts on hand since spring. I tried to find my old switch, but I can't. I know my switch matched the how-to perfectly.

Bill knows what he is talking about, so if he says you need 2, I'd go with that.
