illuminated kick plates?
 
this is an easy question, but the illuminated kick plates are supposed to light up when the driving lights/headlights are on right?

Reason Im wondering is because Im supposed to have the kick plates, but was washing the car before some pictures and I realized neither side lights up now. Do they light up all the time like the dome lights day or night? or just when the headlights are on.

i have a 1000mi left on warranty so i'm thinking i should get this looked at if they're not working.

thanks

They light up whenever the doors are open.

The wiring harness taps into the door open switch. Odd that both stopped working. I installed mine but can't remember if there was a fuse or not .... are you dome (aka map) lights working?

Thanks guys, sounds like a trip to the dealer for me. Yes the dome/map lights work fine. I also thought it was strange that BOTH kickplates stopped working, but they might have actually stopped at different times because i didnt even notice them broken until now. Definitely wouldn't have noticed an isolated passenger side problem probably for a while.

Yup and yup!!

Yeah, take your car to the dealer before that warranty goes out. That's just silly.

Kidcane 07-29-2011 08:43 AM

Just to clarify. They did light up when you first bought the car....right?

^^^^ Lol, I was thinking the same thing.

Doesn't matter, get that **** fixed under warranty now.

2008G-Man 07-31-2011 08:09 AM

Well it does matter if they didn't have the illuminated kick-plates from the beginning.

yup it definitely lit up when it was new. will get the seatbelt mod from the other thread at the same time since it'll be at the dealer

Suggestion: At night turn off the dome lights, and open the doors, they should light. Are the bulbs working? I know that is very obvious, but.....

dealer found the problem, needed a fuse which is why both sides were dead. simple fix, but i got a free car wash out of it :biggthumpup:
