The fuse list is on the card supplied, look in the fuse panel in the boot (bottom right). In regards to the dashcam, would it not have been easier piggyback off another fuse using an add-a-fuse connector?

All of those ambient lights are run from F66. Fuse Box Diagram in the link below. Bookmark the site so you have it for future reference, it will come in handy

I had issues with my ambient lighting in my '18 540i and the software required updating to get them to work properly

Hello guys,

I have G30 2022 and today I faced the issue. All door ambient lights are off, all footwell lights are off, lights in wireless charger trim, and all dash lights are off. Yesterday everything worked perfectly, today nothing. All fuses in the passenger footwell look good, and in the trunk as well. Any ideas about what happened?
