penfold14 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I had the alternator replaced a couple of months ago, and a couple of days ago noticed that the ambient lights were not on. Checked the settings and the ambient light and rain lights were not checked . I assumed that they must have been reset when alternator replaced. Tonight however, noticed ambient lights were again off, and when I checked the settings again, both settings were again cleared..... I have rechecked them, but j am wondering what would cause this.... battery is not too old, replaced a few months back. Is there a little battery backup or something. Anyone have any idea.....

They are leds that give a glow to the foot wells, door pockets, door handles and centre console Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penfold14 Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 I quite like them too. Just confused as to why they decided to disable themselves again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
