I have the auto dimming mirror (has the sensor/eye on the bottom of the glass) but it doesn't work.

Are these known to fail? Is there a fix? Looking for ways to fix other than taking it to the dealer.

 

Not to be funny but there is an on off switch for the mirror did you check that ?

 

Guess I should RTFM!
I didn't know that...where is it?

 

There is a real tiny button that you can not see on the bottom edge of the mirror. Also on the back side of the mirror if I remember correctly there is another button that adjust the intnesity of the LED that lights the keyhole

I will check it out! Many thanks!

 

Okay checked it out yesterday. I have no switch, button or anything else on the mirror that would be an on/off switch.

Any suggestions?

 

I have two buttons. Are you sure you have the self dimming mirror? My driver side mirror also dims

 

No...I'm not sure but it does have the sensor in the glass at the bottom of the mirror. So wouldn't that mean mine are self dimming?

 

That is your rain sensor for your winshield wipers. A round disk attached to the winshield right?

 

Huh?! No....my inside rear view mirror has a sensor on the glass. It's an oval sensor at the bottom of the glass right about the trim piece.

 

Well I give up!

FYI - Rear view dimming mirrors and rain sensor design changed in MY02...
