2020 Cougar Compartment Lights

I have a question for someone that might know. I’ve got a new to me 2020 Cougar. I’ve got a couple things I’ve found that don’t work and I’m chasing them down. 1st is the compartment lights. None of them work, except the live well lights and they are on acc 2. Acc 1 turns on the rail lights and hologram under the console. Along with trying to figure this out I’ve found that the front trim buttons don’t work and and front nav lights switch doesn’t operate. I’m thinking there is no power to the front power switch since it won’t light up. I’m wondering if all of this may be linked together. Anyone with any ideas or knowledge on these I’d appreciate the feedback.

I had the same issue with the compartment lights on my Caracal. I traced the wire back to the security button on the touch pad and it metered bad. Instead of buying a replacement touchpad I cut the wire and attached it to the 12v block that’s under the dash for graph power and all works great now.

Thanks for the info. I’ll check this and see what I find.
