Driver side mirror light is out :(

Hey guys,

a couple of weeks ago, a malfunction message showed up on my dash saying that my driver side mirror light is out, but it wasn't, by the time I got home, the message disappeared and never came back on again.

Tonight, after I washed and waxed my car, the driver side mirror light DID go out and the message appeared again, but this time the light doesn't work anymore, and now im home, and it's still not working.

Any ideas? Maybe a fuse? what should I check first?

Thanks guys, appreciate it!

I have had to take my right side mirror apart after it had a mail box jump in front of it. It is pretty easy to replace the motor once you know how to take it appart, but of course check fuses first. Remember it would be the door switch also.

I took the cover off, and realized that the light wasn't working because the plug wasn't completely in the socket. For everyone else out there, if you do experience a problem with the LED lights on your mirrors, make sure the connection is good.
