Drivers side mirror light doesn't work

[SultanGris]

2003, mirror light on drivers side when you open door doesn't work at all with incandescent bulb but an led is very very dim, doesn't work properly. Pass side works great but led flickers a little lightly when it should be off completely, any ideas what would cause that? Drivers side low beam headlight also doesn't work, all fuses look good. Not sure if related. Thanks

Wiring, connector, or FEM.

Front Electronics Module. It's behind the driver's kick panel.

Ok I'll check it out, thanks.

Incandescent bulbs require more current to light than LED bulbs. Since an LED bulb apparently glows, albeit faintly, I'd suggest starting by checking on the wiring side of things, such as a corroded connection or a wire that's been bent too many times and has several broken strands. You could also try providing a known good ground, then known good power. If one of those causes the light to illuminate fully, then the issue will be in that leg of the circuit. The power feed for the driver's side comes from the Central Junction Box via the Auxiliary Junction Box. Ground for the bulb is via the FEM.
