    My driver's footwell light doesn't work. I seem to remember it used to work. Is this a software update that disables it or is mine broken?

    I had the same problem and while I was having my turn signal module being replaced, I asked the repair technician to look at it. He said the connector pins were loose. After re-seating them the light has been working for the past 2 weeks. Hopefully it stays that way.

    As above. Pop the light out (pry from one end) and check the connection. Also super easy to undo a few push pins or push on retainers and lower the entire panel it’s mounted in. I’ve done both, is easy. To remove a push pin us a small flathead screwdriver to pop up the center and then pull it out by hand.
