Rearview mirror reading lights

Hey, so my reading light on the rearview of my 2000 trans am sporadically works, only the passenger side though. The drivers side light always works (automatically when the car is unlocked and when the switch is on). I've changed the bulb on it twice just in case the first one was bad, but it's really driving me crazy and I can't seem to find it anywhere online. I did the BCM fix about a year ago when I bought the car so I don't think that's it. Any ideas?

P.S. if you google it and find the solution... stand by for an axing cause I've been looking for this for two days lol.

Grab a test light and check for power when it doesn't light.

Here is the schematic. Terminal A is a controlled ground from the BCM, B is a ground supplied when you press the switch and C is your power feed from the BCM. Sounds like either the switch in the mirror or something with the wiring in the rearview mirror.

Perfect thank you! I'm sure it's one of the connections but couldn't find the right diagram. Found the site you got that from now incase I have any more problems.
