None of my internal lights work after adding LEDs

Since I took the male plug off the rear ceiling light to try and add LED lights to it.

How to connect led to existing loom as courtesy lights.

I’m trying to add courtesy lights to exiting loom but the old courtesy lights had an on and off switch but these don’t. The work but stay on while driving and the only way the on off switch works in drivers seatbelt column is if you hold it in. There is also a light on the dashboard. What do I...

In the beginning the led lights worked I attached to it but the lights in the cab didn’t work anymore. The last time this happened was when I took the knock plates off the rear doors. Can anyone help me.

Have you checked the fuse for the interior lights?

Also try disconnect the led lights and see if the cab ones are working again.

Check fuse in dash fusebox, fuse number 5 counting up from bottom left, first 7.5a blade fuse

Hi. I just checked the fuse box using info found on this brilliant awesome group and low behold it was the 7.5 fuse. I must have shorted the wires because I remember seeing a spark from the wires. The led still worked for a bit but at a very dim lumin and then after messing about a bit more I must have finished the fuse off cos there was nothing going through. I put a Bluetooth code thing on and it gave a code etc. I’ll buy a new fuse tomorrow and start again.
I found all the info I needed from old posts on this group it had a photo pointing to the culprit and I’ve been thinking about it all day while walking round Derwent water.
I know sounds strange but I was well happy when looked at the fuse and saw it was broken . To think I was going to take it to a WV electric specialist tomorrow and would most likely have been charged £80 quid for a £2 fuse.

What do the three wires do? I read on here that one of the wires needs to be earthed for for it to work properly. I have a new male connector that I threw in the bin so I’m thinking of replacing it and just using the leisure battery to power the lights. If I could just use what’s there it would be great but I don’t understand the three wires and how I put the 2 wires to the LED ones.

The red/black wire is +12v. The brown/red wire I’d -ve, switched by the doors. The brown wire is permanent-ve.

If you use the red/black and the brown/red then your lights will come on when you open the doors. If you use the ref/black and the brown then the lights will be permanently on and you’ll need to fit another switch

Or you could fit s three way switch and get the best of both worlds.

Replacing the red/black with a fused connection to your leisure battery will mean you’d lights will be powered by that rather than your starter battery

Brilliant I have brain damage and can only work with visual. Can you draw or take images as this is the hardest part so far and all it is is a light. I had already bought a three way switch as I’d thought about the original light. How do I wire a three way switch and then continue the wire to a two pin light
