W205 Ambient Light Issue

Hello first post. Picked up my C200 2019 yesterday and have found a slight issue with the ambient lighting.

Basically the colour won't change, they just change from blue to red every 30 seconds or so, which is a little distracting. Not seen anyone else with this issue on my searches...

The brightness control in the dash works, but colour doesn't.

Have tried resetting the central console, no change.

Have tried looking for the fuse but whilst the fuse box suggests 213, that slot seems empty in the druvers side fuse box.

Any suggestions? Will diagnostics pick something up?

Thanks

Brightness controls the light...

But colour does nothing, I can select any of the 64 colours but the ambient lights just stay flashing between red and blue.

This is mine... you can see it is selected on green but the lights are blue and in 30 seconds will change to red. Very odd
