Driver's side heat/auto dim mirror not working

eeee36M3 · 11-13-2010, 10:02 AM

Searched and searched, but didn't find the answer.

1. The auto-dimming works on both my rearview and passenger side mirror, but not the driver's side.
2. Also, the heated mirror works on the passenger side, but not the driver's side.
3. All motor functions work for both side mirrors.

So, am I lucky enough that there is a fuse to replace for just the auto-dimming and heat feature? I wouldn't think this is likely. ...or do I need to purchase a new glass piece (I've seen quoted prices of $225, just for the glass. Ouch...)

Thanks!

I would think they are on the same fuse so I think your mirror is failing....sorry.

Do you know anyone with the same model as you?

You could try swapping the mirrors and see if it works with the other one. If so you know it's not your car, but the mirror.
