I'm trying to override the keymap C-l binding when in helm mode. However, it doesn't seem to be working - even though my other bindings work.

I've tried setting C-l to nil and also binding to both helm-map and helm-find-files-map but it still has the default binding.

    (define-key helm-find-files-map (kbd "C-l") nil)
    (define-key helm-map (kbd "C-l") nil)

    (define-key helm-map (kbd "C-l") 'helm-execute-persistent-action)
    (define-key helm-find-files-map (kbd "C-l") 'helm-execute-persistent-action)

Is there something that I'm missing here that is preventing me from overriding this keybinding?

    You're definitely evaluating the lines? The first line (rebinding it to nil in helm-find-files-map) is enough to make C-l do nothing on my computer, testing it with C-x C-f. There is a different keymap used for finding files in other window; that's helm-read-file-map.

Turns zck was correct here. I wasn't using helm-read-file-map in my situation - which was to go down a level in helm mode.
