    Mirror blinker repair possible?

    I have the mirrors with the integrated turn signals on my Escalade. And the turn signal on the left no longer works. I think that the LED module has failed. Since the mirror itself is still OK, the LED module should either need to be repaired, or be available as a replacement somewhere? The...
