Ambient lighting issue
thanks So, I noticed the ambient lighting in the front passenger side door doesn’t work anymore. The LED that lights up the handle area as well as the larger storage at the bottom of the door panel just doesn’t light up. Only on that one door though. Does anyone any smarter than me have any ideas as to what I could look at to try and fix that?
I might know just a little about this 
1) Cycle the head light switch while light outside from auto to on to off etc (to cycle ambient on/off as well) hopefully the BCM catches on.
2) Any codes thrown? Any code reader would show them.
2) Body Control Module reset. i know from adding ambient to my XLT, that after plug/unplug of the lamps that the BCM can remember when an ambient module is present or is not. Many times my doors wouldn't work. If you have a forscan/odb2 module, reset can be done there. if not, pull neg battery cable for a while?
2) Remove door panel, 12v across Green/Red and Blk Violet? Door wiring diagram Ambient door wiring diagram
