[QUOTE="Raptor18Actual, post: 1468947, member: 27443"] Ford doesn't do their own electronics design, and definitely not their own electronics manufacturing. All of that is outsourced to suppliers, and not COTS, hence why you're not able to find these readily available online. The boards you posted were made by Pacific Insight (the PIEC lettering in the bottom pic), a competitor to a company I worked for in a previous life. The 3 wires are because these are controlled by Local Interconnect Network (LIN - you can see that lettering on the gray wire in the top pic). I don't remember where exactly the LIN master was, but I want to say BCM. The BCM talks with the lamp over the LIN network to turn the lamp to turn on or off (and in the case of RGB, which color). The lamp can also report status if required (e.g. dead LED, short circuit, etc). [/QUOTE]
