Footwell Ambient Lights don’t work

I just got my Mini back from the dealership for several service issues. I had a couple of exterior lights out, along with other multiple problems. Well I didn’t realize til I got home (2hr drive to dealership) and it was dark that my ambient lights in my footwell were not working. They do everywhere else, just not the footwells. Is this a fuse issue? Or something they screwed up when changing other lights? The other lights were all exterior lights, but wasn’t sure if they were connected or not. Really don’t want to have to drive 2hrs back to Pensacola for them to examine the problem if it is just a fuse or something. But i cannot find any info online or in the manuals about just one part of the ambient lights not working.
Thanks for any input!!

Check the bulbs and connectors? If they had the dash apart, could have dislodged the connectors from the lights. Also possible that both light bulbs went out. Should take maybe 5 minutes to check.

Not exactly sure how, LOL. But will get down there and try to figure it out!! 😂 My husband usually try’s to fix any issues I have, but he is out of state working for the next month!! I was hoping it was just a fuse 😆. But need to crawl inside and see what I can find. Will let you know if I need help walking thru it 😉.
Thanks!!!

It would be very unusual for the interior light circuit to be split over multiple fuses. Typically all interior lights are on one fuse. Therefore if it was a fuse no ambient lighting .... rather than just parts being out.
