Running light not working

[MichaelLeeMeadows]

The horizontal light bar (the running light at the front of the truck, not the on-top off-road light) is not lighting up. And there doesn't seem to be any controls for that light in the "Lights" control panel. Do I have a faulty light? Or is there some way that I inadvertently shut it off?
Thanks in advance!

Interesting. Does the image of the truck on the touch screen show it to be on? If so, and the bar isnt lighting up, likely an issue.

Yes, on the screen, it shows that light illuminated.

You can try shutting the car down and rebooting. If that doesnt fix it, id make a service appt. Theres no way to turn it off from the UI except to put it in park and turn off the headlights, or to open a game/movie in park, this turn off the headlights too.

Mine had this issue at one point. I took to service center and they blamed my wrap installer for messing something up. Long story short, it was merely disconnected under the hood and they plugged it back in. My running bar was fine for months after wrapping. Tesla wanted to charge me diagnostic and labor fee of like $525 but the service representative was extremely nice and waived the cost. Was your CT wrapped?
Could be 20 min fix if yours also somehow rattled loose

Does it turn on when you unlock the vehicle?

UPDATE: Tesla replaced the faulty running light with an entirely new unit... took 2 days. In the meantime, they provided me with a brand new (15 miles on the odometer) 2026 Model 3 Performance with FSD as a loaner. Who says Tesla service is bad? The folks at the East Sahara location in Las Vegas are incredibly nice and accommodating.
