I just purchased a 2018 durango GT blacktop edition. My front passenger door handle light flickers, goes out, or sometimes works correctly. I've done the "bang on it" procedure to see if vibration causes any change. No change. I've wiggled the wiring harness that goes from the door to the car... no change. Before I start digging into it, has anyone had this issue? Is the part replaceable? Any help with repair tips or where I can get a replacement part would be amazing. Thanks!

You have a couple choices:
1. Find a donor vehicle and cut out the ambient light assembly and replace (have to remove the door panel)
2. Remove the door panel and solder on a new LED and see if that fixes it.

Pulled the panel. Everything looked fine. I believe it is the door handle LED failing because the cup holder LED works fine. Attached is the tag on the wiring for it. Can someone help me find the correct replacement part?

Put +12V and a ground on the leads going onto the PCB to test.

Measured voltage at the PCB and also at connector. 14.4v with car on. 12.2v with car off but interior lighting on before shutting down the vehicle.
The LED works intermittently at the door handle. The LED that is wired in parallel works fine. The fail point I believe is the LED or could be a cold solider joint.
