The driver's door sil plate no longer lights up. Passenger side still does.
I don't see any information on bulb replacement. Under warranty but I'd hate to take it back and have the dealer charge me for a normal wear part.

Is this a sealed LED unit? Is there a separate bulb or fuse?

I believe Ford uses LED's for this lighting feature, not a replaceable bulb...

Are they ebony in colour? I've only seen the brushed aluminum. Search Results | Auto Nation Ford White Bear Lake

My 2011 Mustang had the Blue LED quit working in the passenger footwell area and I was quoted $100 for the entire LED board assembly. It was a LED with R,G,B and (-) terminals. I ordered a $2 LED from eBay and soldered it on myself about 5 years ago. Haven't had an issue since and the brightness is the same as OEM.

I'm not saying that's the issue going on here, but i'm sure it's a serviceable part depending on how you look at it.
