Question Illuminated kick plate/door sills stopped working

Hi all,

my G came with illuminated door sill / kick plates and they just both went out so I’m assuming it’s fuse rather than lighting issue. I checked both fuse boxes and non were open. Since I didn’t do the install, I’m not sure how to proceed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 2013 G37x - I have the original battery and read that disconnecting it for 5 mins would reset the BCM which may be my next step.

They plug into the BCM near passenger footwell, right side. So check there.

If you guys have access or knowledge of a voltmeter you'll need to start from there.
It's possible that the main harness for it might have gotten pinched/disconnected or corroded and is not providing the voltage or ground the sills need.
A voltmeter will determine if it's power or ground that you're missing. Without this info there only so much we can recommend.

The illuminated kickplate T-harness has a inline fuse that needs to be checked. The fuse is the old timey glass tube type and is usually located inside a white, hard plastic case. It will be very close to the BCM and likely wrapped in foam tape.

Also make sure you don't have water around your BCM from a clogged sunroof drain.
