MICU Replacement
how hard is it to replace an MICU? Mines is broken as my interior lights don't go on anymore after I unlock the car with the remote. Everything else works fine but I'm just wondering. Because I miss this feature as I have puddle lights and they work amazing.

Update:
Replaced the fuse assembly!
My door locking issue is now resolved. It locks and unlocks correctly!
The job of replacing it was a pain in the ass but doable. I basically removed the kick panel and the cover under the steering wheel. After that I started disconnecting all the connections on the front of the fuse assembly, 2 on the side, and then I unbolted the top and bottom bolt. I was able to pull the fuse assembly out just enough to see the 8 connectors on the backside. Took those off and reversed process for installation. Gotta take your time doing this...only took me 2 hours and the book states its 3.5 hours. Im sure this is so the dealership can rip you off nicely. Anyway, my parasitic draw issue is still present. I just read a thread on HFL issues so I'm recharging my battery and will see if disconnecting the HFL will fix that issue.

what do you think the issue might be? The unlock and lock lights don't work anymore but the interior lights work when I press them on and off. Nothing else seems to be affected besides the unlock and lock lights but I had puddle lights and I was driving in the rain and they started to go on and off by themselves so I disconnected them and the function ceased to exist after this smh.
