Auto dimming mirror
« on: December 17, 2014, 08:52:15 am »
Hi,

My Dimming Mirror isn't working, anyone know which fuse I need to check?

Any other things to look at also?

have you check the little button under the centre of the mirror to make sure you haven't switched it off inadvertently?


So much for keeping it standard!

When it's switched on, a little green light below the mirror glass should illuminate  :happy2:

Another quick question on this topic. The central and right mirrors both dim but the left hand mirror doesn't. Is that normal?
