Paulius55 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I have just started using Forscan on my 2018 S-Max (as a result of the Screen heater issue in another topic) and of course did a scan for DTCs One particular one comes up B1165 Left Front Puddle Lamp - circuit short to battery or circuit open to battery - passenger door control. Lo and behold, the left puddle lamp is not working, but I had not noticed it before. There is no mention of it in the handbook and I am not sure if it is incandescent or LED. It is a very yellow light but that doesn't rule out LED. Is there an easy way into the mirror? Or any way to check the lamp? Has anyone else had a similar problem and solved it?

Meta55 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Looks like you can pop it out from the bottom of the mirror. There’s two notches, one on the light and the other on mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulius55 Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 On mine there are no notches, just a circular diffuser. I will wait until it warms up before I investigate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulius55 Posted January 27, 2021 Author Share Posted January 27, 2021 Well there are notches and it does pop out. It is a sealed LED unit that is non-functional so I have ordered a pair from amazon - hopefully all will be well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meta55 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Hopefully your new ones are a bit brighter. The std ones are shockingly dull, for a puddle light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulius55 Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 The new ones fit perfectly and are very bright and white, all is well in the puddling world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
