Try it at night with doors closed.I have a loaded 2019 Sahara and have seen the ambient lighting on my build sheet but I’ve tried a few times and I can tell you that one of those wheel buttons doesn’t do a damn thing. I’ve tried fooling with those wheels at night while waiting for the wife. I must’ve got the wrong module too. I just shrugged it off and moved on.
Where is this module located?You could bring it to your dealer and have them check, or you could first unbolt it yourself (7mm) and check the part number; if it ends with a 12ab it's the wrong one, if it ends with 13ab, it's the correct one but may be broken.
I'd say look up your build sheet with your VIN in this forum, verify it lists "Ambient LED Interior Lighting" under Standard Equipment; and that you've checked when the car and the lights are on, and its dark enough to tell. Regarding the rest, there's also small leds just above the door release, and in the cup holders which are also adjustable using the left adjustment wheel next to the lighting knob; if there's a problem, inform your dealer.I just brought home my 21 rubicon and I also don’t have the ambient lighting at all on neither side. Looks like only 2 wires. But I have a rubicon. So what’s the fix then? Also is there any other lighting I should look for? I have the cup holder lights. None in door handles. What about back seats?
If you really only have two wires feeding the led modules in the foot-wells, that's likely the biggest problem; as the modules which support ambient foot-well lighting won't work without a three wire harness (as pictured by another poster earlier in this thread, to the best of my knowledge).I’m not worried about the brightness. I just want them to be lit...which they are not. I have the cup holder ones. And my build sheet does confirm that I have the “ambient led lighting”. So I guess I’ll have to contact the dealer. Is it an easy fix? Also does anyone have a picture of the door handle ones? Not seeing that on my build or in my Jeep.
I just went out and checked. Turns out I was wrong. I do have 3 wires! So that’s good news. So the fix then is just a new light module? Did you get them from the dealership (at their expense) and put them on yourself?

I requested the dealer (at FCA's expense) replace the passenger side foot-well module with the correct one as noted in the beginning of this thread; be aware the driver's side module is different, so will have a different correct part number which I didn't look up as I didn't need it, but the dealer should be able to. If you trust your dealer's mechanic fooling around under your foot-wells they can do it, but suspect the dealer will need to be involved with the replacement in some manner to be able to expense the modules/work to FCA under warranty (if that was the problem).I just went out and checked.

okay I’ll get in touch with them tomorrow. Thank you for all of your help! Really appreciate it. Ido have one more question which is semi off topic....in your main cup holders (the ones in between the driver and passenger seat) are there inserts at the bottom? Like a liner? I could of sworn my 2020 had them.

There's a rubbery spot in the center of the bottom of each, but no liner per-se in mine.....in your main cup holders (the ones in between the driver and passenger seat) are there inserts at the bottom? Like a liner? I could of sworn my 2020 had them. But this new one doesn’t.
okay. Thanks for looking. I thought it had like a rubbery mat at the bottom that you could pull out. After seeing my ambient lighting is wrong I’m paranoid I’m missing other things.There's a rubbery spot in the center of the bottom of each, but no liner per-se in mine.
Yes, at least for the Sahara, Rubicon and derivative models to the best of my knowledge; although not nearly as brightly as when a door is opened (i.e. courtesy lighting).... So to get this right, the footwells are supposed to be lit while driving at night similarly to the cup holders? ...
