How To: Install a Compass / Temperature Rear View Mirror

[jus10inbrla]

Well i got a overhead console and mirror today. Tested mirror. The comp / temp stayed ultra dim . Even applying 12v to pin 3 wouldnt make it brighter . Or resettig / turning off auto dim. Looked like the chip in the housing had a burnt spot or two in it.

So will be returning it tomorow on lunch and hit them back up sunday while im off to browse as i made a test pigtail plug

Yep. Mirror was bad. Went this morning and got another one from yard. Snaged the temp sensor to with the mount. Tested it before i even left the vehicle. Showed around 95°. Went to install in my truck and i have the small mirror base . Will have to get new base . So no update for a few days.
