    2019 Expy Max Limited. My cup holder, foot well, and passenger airbag ambient lighting stopped working. Front doors, back doors, footwells are still working.

    I believe the 3 front problem lights are all on the same LIN run. I ran Forscan and got two DTC codes: B143B and B143C saying “short circuit to ground”.

    I pulled the center console and checked the connections for the cup holder LEDs as this seems to be a problem area with shit dropping down and corroding those connections.

    They were a bit funky. So I cleaned them off with rubbing alcohol. But they still don’t come on.

    If I replace the harness / leds controlling the cup holder lights should I expect my front footwells and airbag lighting to restore?
