Ambient lighting not in sync

[FO SHO]

Im not sure if this is covered in the warranty but the ambient lighting does not work on some modes. If i have it on blue, everything lights up except for the passenger side door handle. If i change it to white, the color comes to a greenish color. Is it out of sync or are some cables mix matched? I already disconnected battery.

should be covered under the standard bumper to bumper warranty.

not covered on ESP. I found it strange when i went to get my driver side door fixed they said they would all have to be replaced to replace the 3 in the door. but when i look up the parts theres one for each side so couldnt i just do the one side?

Do you have another dealer close enough to try there?

I am having same issue, passenger front door door handle led isn't the same color. Obviously the is a LED out cause the only color is can't do is blue. Not to worried about at the moment will fix once it get warmer.

Mine refuses to stay on the chosen color.

Pisses me off.

Take comfort in the fact that this issue is widespread among Fords, not just reserved for the Taurus

Im glad but also sorry that everyone has the same problem. Maybe a TSB or recall will come out of this.

Recalls are for safety issues (generally a risk of injury or death).  Maybe a service advisory, more likely a programming update, IF enough people band together and relay their dissatisfaction directly to Ford.  Because it is usually a significant investment of time & effort on their part, any company will usually wait till the next major revision to "fix" such problems.  So, squeaky wheel & all that.

But I agree, as vehicles go more high tech, and people buy them for their features as much as for their road performance, these little things can mean a lot!

Bummer, all potentially sources of frustration!  Interestingly I have not had these problems and hope I don't... hope I don't since I chose my LEDs in the conversion to match the blue...

All these problems sound like either LED failure/loose connection, mis-wiring of ambient LEDs, or programming glitches (the "won't stay the color I choose" problem. I will admit tht I don't know how the color of the ambient lights is actually determined when it's selected

Maybe dalum or someone with the manuals and diagrams will chime in here.

I hope to have more soon as I order lighting harness for passenger front door. Colors are generated by 4 leds and what I suspect is one of them is burned out. Cause I can produce white and red no problem, but other colors are out of sync and no blue at all from passenger door. But no replacement bulbs for this fix is a harness for all the lighting in door, was $40 so bucks from tascaparts.com.
Will put together a how to when I get part and time.

Very useful!  Thanks.  Really want to see.

I bet that'll be a useful how-to in the coming years, I'm sure...

I tried to keep mine on a set color. After it reverted back to default twice, I said to hell with it.

mine stay on red where I want them but I guess the ECU still makes them blue when getting in / out of the car though ? I guess it's supposed to do that ?
