You forgot about the combinations listed but with glove box open
Jokes aside, I think the consensus here is that big drawer light should be on when top lid is open or partially open.

My car was in service for 2 weeks for this (I owned car for 3 weeks so far) they replaced entire center console and gave me back the car. Exact same problem!!!! They then shrugged shoulders and said oh well I guess that’s how it is and asked me to take it home… said there is no way to fix it.

Just picked up my new Plaid (473 Vin), and the light operates as it’s supposed to. Amazed but ecstatic!

What software version are you on? Just confirming it wasn't fixed in software.

Had to drop the car off at the detailer so don’t have the exact number but it’s a late 2021 version. Still the original software put on at the factory, no 2022 updates on it yet.

Does anyone know the name or number for the service bulletin or advisory document that shows how to do the repair? Mobile service is coming to work on mine today, but he said he couldn't find it.

I do not think there is an actual "repair" that fixes it. It seems like the various repairs (full console replacement, reconfiguring the switch, etc.) just introduce mix-matched results.
Hell, I am not even sure Tesla knows what the right light configuration should be.

Now he's saying he doesn't have time.... Who's scheduling this stuff? It was on the service request.
The mobile service guy was here for 5 hours today. Nice guy, knowledgeable, Tesla veteran, but he had never dealt with the problem himself before. He removed the console, stripped it down a little, replaced a couple of switches, put it back in, it still didn't work, took it back out again, did a lot of testing, put it back in again, and it still didn't work. He's coming back tomorrow!
See my earlier post about the three switches. One is more difficult to access and requires pulling out the entire console. My tech had some success when experimenting with reversing the physical orientation of some or all of the switches…it was like feeling his way in the dark.
Also check my earlier post where the tech who fixed it had to figure out that one of the switches activates when released as opposed to when pushed.

Thank you so much!!! It was driving me crazy that the light never went off. I took it in and they said if the lights burn out they will replace it. But to figure out how to turn off was a mystery. Until now!! Glad i looked here. I have a 2021 plaid 1800 miles so far love the car best car i ever owned
He texted me this morning and said that he has to order some parts and postponed his visit until April 15th. He order the part labeled "9" in this diagram.

Thanks for that info! I added it to my service ticket. Hopefully we can get that ordered and replaced on mine.
