Cup holder lights?
I just had my center console cup holders replaced (they replaced them with another set of job 1s!?!? ) and I noticed that the lights in the bottom come on when I open the door but aren’t on when the headlights and rest of the interior lights are on when I’m driving. Idk if it was always like this or if something is wrong with these. Can someone check theirs and let me know? Thanks in advance!!

Do you have the ambient lighting package as a stand-alone option or as part of the ultimate package? My truck’s not here yet....

In your Center screen go to ambient lighting and make sure the intensity is up. Slide that colour up like it was an equalizer. Should work then.

To the OP does it have anything to do with the mode you have your lights set to on the main control ****? The other day I got mine back from the dealer and it was set to a function where none of the interior buttons lit(heater, radio etc.) Just needed to set it to a different position. I will double check mine later today.

That was it!! Thanks!!! They must have played with it after installing the cup holders to make sure it worked and left the intensity all the way down.

Glad it helped.
Can you send me a link to the cup holders. I’m sure their better then stock. So tired of having to hold the drink all the time.
