Purchased a new to me 2021 C8 Corvette in February. My first Corvette after a very long wait! So far, I love the car and thru the information provided in the forums I purchased the GM Extended Warranty from Dennis Fichtner.
Took the car in earlier this week for a few warranty issues, which consisted of the dreaded "frunk actuator not working" and an issue with the courtesy lights not functioning except in manual "map switch mode".

Tech had the car for two days and claimed the factory told him the courtesy light issue is a "user setting issue"??? Of course, they had to order the frunk actuator and will replace next week.

Any ideas on the courtesy lights?? I have read every page under the lighting section of the owners manual with no luck. I'm 67 years young and never been stumped by something like this one.
