Hello. I have a 2018 Expedition Max Platinum, and there is no ambient lighting on the windshield wiper control arm (steering column). So, at night, I can't see the settings on the control arm. I just have to feel around and guess what the settings are.

I just noticed this because I usually don't drive it at night.

So ... is it supposed to light up? With all the other ambient lighting in the interior of this vehicle I would think it should, so I don't know if it needs service or if Ford just omitted it. The car's got just over 6,000 miles on it.

Thanks for any assistance.

Dave, I found the ambient lighting control on the Sync 3 screen. Lets you set diff colors and such on that screen (you prob knew that) guess I'll check the wiper arm because I didn't know you could use that for ambient lighting also....thanks...

Hot the ambient lighting tile and select a color to "up" position. Usually, if the lights aren't on, on the color select screen, all of the color tiles will be in the "down" position.

I believe the MY20 didn't get ambient lighting color options. Just ice blue. I remember @LokiWolf talking about it back in August.

I remember that. He can still use those instructions to turn them on.
