Right Side Indicator Not Working but Object Sensor Works Fine

[sgorajewski]

Recently my right side indicator light on my 2015 Chevy Tahoe stopped flashing when I'd use my turn signal, but the object sensor continues to work fine.

Chevy says I have to replace the entire mirror to fix the issue at almost $1000! This doesn't seem right to me since the mirror seems to be partially working (it recognizes when I turn on my turn signal and there is an object in my path). Has anyone else experienced this and have a suggestion or fix to suggest?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice/direction!

Well, if the element burned out in the mirror, then it needs to be replaced. Were you provided with any of the internal codes for this?

Pics of the truck, please.

I would think that the indicator light on the mirror is an LED strip attached to the mirror. I have not personally taken apart one of these mirrors, but I'm sure that other folks on this Forum have, and they will chime in.

Welcome to the forum from Iowa.

it may be possible to replace just a light or module on the mirror, but if no one sells just that module, you’re stuck buying the whole unit.

No, I didn't receive any codes, just one day noticed the indicator light wasn't working anymore.
