Running Board Lights
When are these supposed to come on? Mine don't seem to light at all. I've changed the bulb on one side but still nothing - so I'm thinking it's either a switch somewhere or a blown fuse. As for the fuse idea, I looked in the owner's manual and could not find a fuse that was either partially or specifically allocated for these - but they have to be on a fused circuit, just have to find which one.
Anyone have any suggestions?

OK, checked fuses 40 and 54 in the engine compartment, but no dice. Any other suggetions?
My other car is a 997.2 Porsche C4S, and that board over at Rennlist is much more active!

Spender,
Did you get this resolved. I'm having a similar issue. Driver side lights but passenger doesn't. I've tried new lights on the passenger side but they don't work.
Strangely, the passenger side seemed to go after I had to disconnect and reconnect the battery.
Any info anyone has would be appreciated.
Thanks,

If i remember correctly, when i was replacing the door courtesy bulbs with LED i shorted and blew fuse which resulted in courtesy light and door pedal courtsy lights to go dark. It was fuse by the driver panel inside cabin check those i dont remember correctly which was it exactly i will have to look.

I am also having an issue with the running board lights. I had just purchased the GX two weeks ago and I know that all four running board lights were functioning. I just installed HIDS yesterday and had to remove the battery. HIDS work great but now I don't have running board lights on the passenger side only. Driver side work fine. What could it be? Cant be a fuse because all other lights interior and exterior work fine. I will check for a loose connection underneath the running board but it sounds like something related to disconnecting the battery...

Just had this fixed under CPO of passenger side on wife's 2009.
It was a wiring harness. It had corroded. The harness that you reach if you follow the long tube of wires forward from where the bulb resides.
