I'm confused at my rear view mirror not auto dimming. I've looked around and a lot of people mention them leaking or this that and the other but mine looks okay, it just doesn't dim.
I only bought the car in the middle of september from a garage. They've already told me that it isn't covered and to go elsewhere.
The car is a volvo V50 D5 SE LUX 08 plate
- I have cleaned the mirror front and back.
- I have tried sticking tape over the sensor on the front.
- I have pointed a torch at it.
- I have taken the fuse out of the fuse box for the over head console including the mirror.
- I have reset the compass in the hope that it'd reset it all
- I have almost given up hope
So, does anyone have any wonderful tips? I have been told on different sites that:
a) the mirror is just a mirror, it dims down to electronics in it. it is not connected to the cars brain at all.
b) the mirror is important, its connected to the brain and the brain can change the amount it dims. it also has parts that relate to the car and need to be programmed to work with the car.
Any tips? Any help?
Thanks!
