Auto-Dimming mirror question
I've got a question for people with the Auto-Dimming rear view mirrors in their trucks. Can you tell when your auto dim is working? My F-150 has an "auto" and an "off" button but the mirror does absolutely nothing and has never worked since day 1. I do have the green light that is lit but have never seen any change while driving even with bright lights behind me on the road. I'm assuming I have a defective mirror. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

rcsting,
I have something you can try. When you're driving at night and someone is behind you, if your mirror is working correctly, it should have a bluish tint to it and the headlights should not be very bright. Then try turning the mirror off, the bluish tint should fade away and the headlights should be a lot brighter.
If there is no change with the switch on or off, you probably have a bad mirror or bad wiring or a fuse leading to the mirror.
Hope this helps.

Personally, I don't like it. It doesn't seem to get dark enough, at least not as dark as a standard day/night mirror, so the glare in the mirror is just enough to be annoying. I'm referring to the one in my car, which doesn't have privacy glass. Maybe that's the difference; every truck I've seen with the auto-dim has the deep-tint rear window.
