Installed the oem led radio surround trim with led. Worked fine. A few weeks later I got some aftermarket led ambient door lights. Installed all four and everything worked fine. A little bright, but worked fine. Had it installed for about two days. Drive to a restaurant and when we come back in the car, turn it on all is well and all of a sudden all the ambient lights went out.

I tried cycling the brightness, change from classic to sport, start car, shut off car nothing worked. I searched the forums and found one guy that had the same issues back in November 22. Reached out and he never got it fixed.

Scoured the forums and I see where people mention fuses were blown. Checked 20, 28, 42, 53, 54, 153 with multimeter and all were good.

Checked fault with BimmerLink, nothing.

Checked decoupling coding, cycled through, nothing.

I’m looking for help. Thinking maybe one or two may have the 2pin connected vs 3pin and it could be causing an error? But why do I not see anything on the BimmerLink?

Any help would be great!

Thanks.

Can you kindly check FEM connector A173*9B pins 50 / 51 for voltage and report back?
