Default Door lights

Did anyone figure out the ambient door light fix?? I have a 2019 Q8 and all lights on doors not working except driver door. Anyone experience this problem??

Default 2019 Audi A7 Contour/Ambient lights stopped working

I just had the issue looked at by Audi and they didn't have enough time allotted to find the issue, but the report said "Multiple faults stored in central electronics J519 for ambient lights, no communication, as well as data bus branch 6 malfunction". They also tested power to the bulbs via data bus as correct, which would explain why they come on occasionally for a short period of time. They described this as a wiring issue said it'll likely take 3 hours to diagnosis and repair (or more "depending"). They quoted $525 + HST CAD, but said it could be more $$$ to fix the issue. This car is only 4 years old and it seems odd that it's experiencing wiring issues already. I love the ambient lighting, but is it really worth the money they are asking to repair?

Any update on this? What was fixed? Replaced? What cables and where? I have a similar issue but on a 2019 Audi S5. Lights just went out. I hope they told you were the issue was. Perhaps I can check it out on mine as well. Thanks!

Is there a setting somewhere i must have enabled to disable this? When I'm in the MMI and goto the vehicle > Lighting > Interior lighting to manage the light colors, brightness, etc, and everything looks correct. Also, the center console area light strip and the area by glovebox has the lights on and working. it's just the doors.

Has anyone seen this?
Had the same problem with my 20 rsq8. I went to the dealer and they said it was due to corrosion. Fully covered under warranty so no worries!
