Con-Fusing Question

Can someone please tell me the # and location for the fuse(s) that control the door pathway lights to work? I have seen 1 chart the says #64 and another chart that shows no listing but #64 is part of voice control. TIA

UPDATE: I now see where "footwell lights" are referred to a "electronic fuse". So my new question is where is this located and can it be replaced/repaired?

Now I see this: https://mbworld.org/forums/sl-class-...onic-fuse.html

Will drive and see if it resets

Have you replaced the lights recently? (LED lights need wiring one way only)

If not you need to check for a short circuit in the light wiring.

The electronic fuse will reset instantly, so if it is not resetting the short circuit is still there.

Check the wiring at the light, and check the door control module for voltage with plug disconnected.

Thanks for the tips, it reset itself after a few drive cycles. I was reading horror stories about potential cures.
