Anyone else had their Auto-Dimming Mirror stop dimming? Mine seems to have stopped Dimming so I have to move my head to avoid getting dazzled by the car behind.
I know there is a daylight sensor on the rear of the mirror and two sensor on the mirror side that detect light coming in from behind (i.e. headlights). From what I've read, the mirrors can 'leak' although there is no sign of this and also the sensors can play up on them. I've tried the trick of covering the daylight sensor with my hand to see if it kicks it in to night mode but nothing seems to work. Also, there doesn't seem to be a fuse specifically for the mirror which apparently also houses the Upper Electronic Module (UEM).
I guess it's a fault within the mirror sensors which unfortunately could also mean a big bill to fix it!
Interestingly, the heated door mirror on the passenger side has also stopped working and the heated seat on the passenger side has stopped heating too, I've yet to check the fuses for those however, but it could be a burnt out element or a module like the drivers seat.
I wonder if all of these issues are somehow related and seriously thinking of buying VIDA because it will tell me straight away.
