My rear view mirror with temp and compass sometimes will not work. It will show all the digital shows up at once and not the temp, but sometimes it works ok. What can I do?

Does the compass work when the temperature goes out? If the compass still works then chances are that the ambient temp sensor is defective. Also, could be wiring to the sensor. If the compass goes out with the temperature then chances are the mirror itself is defective. Cheapest most common problem is the ambient temp sensor. It's behind the grill by the condenser at the front of the vehicle.

SOURCE: there is no power to my rear view mirror with Temp and compass. Is there a fuse for this? I can't find it in the manual

My airbag light will not cut off and my temp and compass on my rearview mirror cut off the same time it went out too... I changed the fuse because it was blown... it works for a couple of days and then cuts back off... I took it to the dealership and they did a dianogstic check and can't find the problem

SOURCE: Can't get the outside temp. showing in the inside backview mirror

Check the connector that plugs into the back of the mirror and make sure it is pushed in all the way. If that is not it, look carefully at the wires going into the connector. I had one that broke off. I had to pull the pin out of the connector and re crimp it onto the wire.

Tucson 2009 - Mirror Directional Compass is not working.

You will need to replace the mirror, they are not repaired and this one is most likely defective. I would have the dealer confrim this is the case as the new part is about $400.00

2003 H6 Outback Wagon. The rear view mirror features a compass that does not accurately show the proper direction. I have read the manual and attempted to recalabrate without success

if all other functions operate then mirror should be replaced,make sure no highway speedpass devices are located to close to the mirror

OC code in rear view mirror temp field

you could always try unplugging the battery for about ten minutes to see if that resets it. make sure you have the code for the stereo first if it requires one.

Temp sensor and compass not displaying on my 2003 yukon xl

Yes. Look in the Fuse Panel inside the Truck. Use a Good Maglight or LED Flashlight and Hold it Behind the Fuses to see the Blown Ones. It is usually in an AUX Outlet. Also check thr Fuse Relay Box under the Hood for a Blown Fuse using the Same Method. See if there is a Relay for this also. If so, Replace it. Let me know if you need any more Help!
