Angry Ambient Lighting stopped working

Hi All,

I feel like I am posting here and asking questions every day.

Last night while driving I noticed my passenger door Ambient Lighting has stopped working. There was another thread about this but I wanted to know if any one has experienced anything like this before.​​​​​​​

It is fixed now by itself, Yesterday the car was running on battery for 20 minutes I turned it on and drove afterwards then this came up. My guess is the 12V battery might be faulty or something.

so of note (been researching the living beejuzes out of that particular system.

In most sections, The Ambient light is really one single LED that that is attached to a optical tube to diffuse the light in that "section/region". It is not a very difficult system. Usually if that area is down it is that LED or wiring to that LED.


This of course is not true for the dash where the vent section has two LED lights at each end.
