About one time per month my ambient lights change color to white by themselves. Do not know what triggers color change. I normally keep them on blue. Of course dealer could not reproduce since it is an intermittant issue.

Any one else have same issue?

I recently noticed that I believe the ambient light setting in my 2013 MKZ are not working as selected

If I choose the darker blue from the display it shows up in the vehicle as green and when I select the green it shows up as the darker blue

I thought it used to work properly (as I always liked the darker blue) but after a recent service it was reset back to white and I was trying to reselect the blue.

Any other 2013 owners have this issue? see the attached photos to see what I am talking about

Did anyone else look at their 2013 Ambient Lighting to see if they have this issue? Lincoln engineering is still scratching their heads on this one and I need to know if this is just a mis-wired hardware issue or it is widespread, THANKS.

Just picked it back up yesterday from the dealer again, they say it was a bad APIM (sp) module. The lights are now correct (again) as the module was changed once before for another issue which caused the ambient light issue.

Around and around we go, where we stop nobody knows

So far no problems with the fix. Still staying on what we set it to.

Good to hear. I have the issue (but it is my only issue) so I will wait for a regular maintenance visit to have it (the TSB) done, thanks
