I had bought error free canbus led's, yes I believe they caused my problems.
I should of just bought the normal LED's but the quality looked better so I opted for those.
I'm running normal led's on my puddle lights and nike lights with no issues.
Only thing I can say for sure is that all was fine before, once I swapped in the bulb it flickered and then no longer worked. no loose/pinched wires or any other issues that I could see. Could just be some freak incident... Who knows.
My issue with the rear door lock started after i put the canbus led in the trunk light to test the bulb.

That was my plan, but on my 600 that fuse panel in the trunk is frustrating to say the least as to where it is positioned..directly behind a huge body weld and 1/4 of the fuses you can't even see unless you use a mirror and do some circue de soleil type body contorting to pull each one..I gave up after 5 fuse pulls and let CPO handle it..which they did gratis

I have a 2014. Are the front and rear spot lights already LED? I could not figure out how to remove them. The one in the middle I swapped out but I wasn't sure about this smaller ones.

Yes, those spot (reading) lights are LEDs. Many here have swapped out the dome lights in the front and back as you have done. You can also swap out the trunk lights for LEDs. Some here have also replaced the vanity lights with LEDs, but I had a hard time opening those panels.

Thank. The color is a little different between the leds added to what was already there. That is why I asked.
The vanity lights were not that tricky. The whole unit pops out.
Are all the led upgrades people do to mirrors and headlights on on the earlier models? My car had led headlights and fogs. Are the tails and all the other exterior lights led?

Same issue
Ok, which fuse block? Is it the one on the far left side of trunk "Fuse Block A" where the fuses are the different colors are nearly impossible to get to, or the ones that are more behind the back seat area behind the trunk liner that look like the bigger type of black and clear fuses? My car is at the dealership right now because I couldn't figure it out how to check the trunk "B" fuse block
UPDATE, i figured out which fuse it was. No.2 5amp in trunk. All working just fine now. With out the LED. Haven't tried to install again, yet.

Ok gents, i know it's been almost 6 yrs since you posted this issue. Imagine my dismay when i went to change the trunk bulb for an led and have same issue you describe, 🙄🙄. Thanks for posting, big walt and cjitty. Please if you can clarify, big walt, did you indeed need that $500 part? Or was it fuses in the trunk that when changed all issues with this, rear door lock and light and trunk light, fixed? Guys, what I'm getting from the thread is, don't panic figure out what fuse it is and change it and all will be well. Please and thanks for your memory.

Installed my passenger door led, when I popped the light back into the door it turned off.
I went like "huh?" couldn't figure it out, and went to the driver door to test it there, it lit up briefly and then died there as well.
Went to pop the halogens back in, dead. Readout is 9v and stuck on. I am a bit pissed that I have to take apart the doors again to get to the stupid computer and crack it open.
