How can I activate the blind spot monitoring system on a Jeep Cherokee?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee may have various safety features, such as "blind spot monitoring" (BSM), which relies on two sensors attached to the rear bumper of the vehicle. These sensors track the distance between cars behind the Cherokee and alert drivers if a vehicle enters their blind spot. You don't need to manually activate BSM; it turns on automatically when the engine is running and the vehicle is moving at speeds over 6 mph. Two lights on the side view mirrors flash to confirm BSM activation. The system keeps an eye on the space behind and alongside the Cherokee, notifying drivers of nearby vehicles with a warning light in the side mirror. However, BSM's effectiveness relies on sensors that could be susceptible to damage, wear, or malfunction due to exposure to the elements.

    My issue with the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is that it beeps when a vehicle is in my blind spot, but the warning lights on the mirrors don't illuminate. Any suggestions on how to rectify this? I drive a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
