Default Spotlights on Tow Mirror not functioning

My spotlights on my mirrors are not working. The lights on the dash do not light up when pressed when the headlights are on. The fuse is good #16 10 amp. I even checked forescan and they are turned on in Forescan. No error codes. I am at a loss.
Thanks

Did they used to work? If yes, did you make a recent FORScan change?

I would check to see if the connectors on the Spot Lamp Module and the Spot Lamp Switch are completely seated and are in good shape. I would also check ground G200 to make sure it is clean and tight.

Are you stationary when you try to engage the spot lights? They only work up to 5 mph. That's a lot slower than it seems. I try to shine mine at my friend's house when I ride by and it's dang near impossible to get the spot light to shine unless I stop.

Ok
I am stationary
They use to work
I made no changes to the spotlight on Forscan
Grounds are good
I had a minor accident and I had to reseat the left mirror turn signal light after the accident
But both turn signals work.
