Mirror lights not working

2000 Monte with the Non-Onstar mirror, lights don't work but interior lights work. Anyone know if this is on it's own fuse?

try wiggling the pigtail in the rear of the mirror. Mine occasionally work, depending what position it is in.

Mine also does this. If I wiggle it around a bit, they'll work, but usually when it's in the position I need it in, it doesn't work.

Might also be worth checking the bulbs if the problem does not appear intermitant...

I would say the wire also, mine keeps doing it, if you wiggle the wire they'll come back on. I have no idea why it does it, the wire and connection look fine.

Might be a lose connector pin.... That looks ok... or the pinch holes that the pins go into maybe wider than there "normal" acceptable positioning.

Everything stretchs(wearsout) in time...
