What Now? Interior lighting plus Trunk and Frunk

As indicated above, the Interior lighting plus Trunk and Frunk lights do not work.

This a recent event, precipitated by the immobilize board, the ECM and keys returning from a well known house in Florida. Their report was that everything checked out and billed for an inspection.

However after I reinstalled all of the above, the stated problems described above manifested.

I reached out and they told me I needed to inspect my install.

Any thought?

David

It's possible it's in "transport mode"

I have a similar issue with mine; dome lights don't come on unless the ignition is on and frunk light doesn't come on. However the trunk light works as it should. I serviced my immobilizer too.

I haven't taken it to the dealer yet to take it out of it, but everything I've read points to transport mode.

Transport mode

I have had another member suggest "Transport" mode.

What tool would be able to change this?

Thanks for confirming my fear.

I think my path forward is a shop or maybe a Forum member in the PNW I5 corridor that has one. I live 2 the mouth of the Columbia river.

Anyone out there willing to help out?
