They are relays. The left one is the IG1 relay and the right one is the HTR relay. The left one gets warm when the ignition is on and the right gets warm when the blower is running. That is normal.

The fuse above it to the left is for the power windows and the one above it to the right is for the defogger.

I'm looking to add a few lights under the dashboard that are on the same circuit as the dome light (so they turn on when the door opens) and was wondering which wires they are. I have the 09 sedan, does anyone know which wires I could use?

The connector (4K) on the upper left in this picture, is the feed to the map and dome lights. White with a black stripe ground, Pink is the "door open" switched ground, and blue is 12V fed from the DOME fuse.

If you mean where are the wires in the picture, they are right behind the pull out pocket on the bottom left of the dash.

Hihi, I already tested the wires tat u mentioned in the picture.. The blue wire does give constant 12v and the pink wire should turn on the lights with the door right?
I already tested the pink wire by multimeter and it will only give 12v when the door is closed.
So may I know what can I do in order to get 12v out when the door is open because I want my led to be on only when the door is open...

Thanks...

Use the pink as ground and the blue as your +12V.

Hi to all... just a noob here in M.E., just wondering if I tap the leads (+,-) of an LED light to the pink n blue from that pic above, will the new led light acts the same as the dome light? will the new led light dim to off as well upon turning off the ignition? Or just turns on when the doors were open? Sorry to much question. Need help where I can tap my led lights so that it behaves the same like the dome light, using its switch also to turn on my led lights underneath. Thanks so much. -jon

If you tap the pink and blue, the LEDs will behave the same as them dome lights, provided that you leave the dome light switch in the "Door" position. If you manually switch the dome to "On", with the doors closed, the LEDs won't light up with the dome.

Hi, how do you suggest wiring LEDs so that they behave exactly like the dome light does? ie. turn on when doors open, switch to ON - light up with dome light. thanks

Alright, so if I'm thinking correctly I should connect the + lead from the lights to the blue wire, and the ground to the pink one?

Use the clip things (tap splices). Just sticking the wire in along side of the existing wire does not make a reliable connection.

Awesome, thanks!
