The light will not work. The driver's side is just fine all light. I do not like lights. Very OCD.

Hi,

Have you checked the bulbs condition? Also, have you checked to see if there is power available to the lights at the socket?

Next, the power to the lights comes from the footwell module. The module receives power from a few fuses,

Below, I attached a pic from the reverse lamp wiring schematic. I highlighted fuses to check, they will be in the right-side fuse box. Confirm they are good. In addition, it is important to confirm there is power to and from the fuse.

Here is a link that you may find helpful:

Also, here are two links you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find.

Take care,
