Uh Oh...now I've gone and done it. Hope you don't have a wife that will want to kill me for bringing up the backlighting.

the wife is cool with the mods. As long as I divide my time between family and hobby accordingly she has no complaints.

But just in case she says something about the back lights mod I'll make sure to blame it on you deb...lol.

i installed a CIPA auto dimming rear view with compass. I followed the same wiring and all seems to work fine. All it needed was a ignition controlled 12 volt and a ground. The factory wires allow for the lights to come on withthe dome lights like the factory one. The compass and auto dim comes on with the key. This pretty much takes me to the same option level i wanted but could not find when i bought the car.

I want to install an autodimming mirror with a thermometer to replace the slow acting factory unit. I liked the thermometer in my 95 Blazer.

I don't see any pictures in the first post but the descriptions should be good enough.

Cool mirror compass not working

Awhile back, installed a Genx mirror with lights/auto-dim and compass. The dealer said that there was a electrical "leak" that was causing the battery to go dead after a few days of not running. They disconnected the mirror and it hasn't operated since. I got a add-a-fuse and went looking for a switched fuse. I tried the radio and got nothing. I traced the wiring and discovered that all was right, except the compass wasn't working. I don't know if the auto-dim is working or not. I hooked it up the original way that I had it. Lights but no compass. Any suggestions?
