Side Mirror Entry Lights

Hey gang...anyone know how to get that bulb underneath the side mirrors to actually turn ON when unlocking the vehicle? Its suppose to shine onto the ground when entering the vehicle.

It's there for a reason, but I never see it ON.

I just tried arming/locking and disarming/unlocking in my dark garage....still does NOT turn ON.

Any help would be appreciated.

Pete

hmmmm...
pretty sure the entire top needs to come off.......
they don't work at all huh?
mine come on, but they're dim as hell in comparison to the other lights....
but I did just have them replaced with led's, but I wasn't there and didn't see them come apart, hopefully the shop got some good pix for me you know?

There is a setting in the Command throught the steering wheel controls I believe that enables and disables this function. I think it is under lighting.

I swore I enabled everything under the Convenience | Lighting section throught the steering wheel buttons...I'll check it again.

In the meantime, does yours work?

Thanks gang...i checked out the Operations Manual...says Locate Light needs to be ENABLED and the light switch needs to be on "A".
