Re: Autodim mirror post-installation Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Tue, 17 Jan 2012 07:20:51 In Reply to: Re: Autodim mirror post-installation, JIMG, Mon, 16 Jan 2012 11:24:48 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Actually, there are two sensors. The one pointed forward tells the mirror it's dark out, the one on the reflective side (dark circle top center) tells it there is a bright light from the back. The mirror only dims when there is a bright light from the back, AND it is dark out.
So to test it, cover the front hole, AND shine a flashlight into the back. The effect will be obvious.
Also, with the factory installation, the dimming is turned off when the transmission is put into reverse.
