In cab auto dimming rear view mirror

[yogibear]

Anyone know where I can find one of these? It has to be 2000 or newer. I've tried all the used parts dlrs. around here. They are $105. 00 new, just trying to save a little$$. Thanks,

Have you checked with Mopar4Less? They usually beat the dealers' retail price. Ask for internet parts.

If you have a sliding rear window they dont dim as well as without due to the vertical window frame in the middle right in line with the mirror. I almost took mine off and replaced it with a manual mirror it was so poor but sold the truck instead.

I can buy it from my dlr. for the same price as mopar4less, in fact 1. 00 cheaper. Thanks guys, I'll keep trying the salvage yards.

I'll trade you mine for a set of powered trailer tow mirrors



Truck rear window, front and rear cap glass all tinted.....

 

[yogibear]

Sounds like a he!! of a deal R-N-R, but I don't have an extra pr. of mirrors right now.

 

[R-N-R]

LOL, Damn!

dimming mirror + sliding rear N.G.

Great example of DC engineering. Sliding window plus dimming mirror = no good due to the shadow striking the sensor in the mirror.....



Not a total waste as I used the power cord to power my windshield LED strobe for emergency response... .

I don't have the rear slider and I still have one heck of a time keeping the mirror working right. Keeping the window clean enough for the dimming to work right is hard to do for me. It is super nice when it works, but is really irritating when it does not because the window is a little dusty or rain spotted.

I was going to tell you something, but everybody beat me to it.



"Don't waist your money, Its a POS. Wish I had a "manual" version.

 

[Fireman Dave]

I didn't know this was a common complaint. Mine works very well with the dark window.

My auto dimmer works perfect even with a rear slider, tinted front slider and tinted rear window on the canopy but it's a '95, they don't make 'em like they used to I guess.

Both of mine work fine.

Mine works, but I do find it humorous.

Mine is a '96 and it works great. Rain, dirty and it has a slider.

Mine works great with the slider. Try positioning the mirror as far towards the left as you can and still see correctly. Maybe the problems have to do with your height and the way your sitting.

 

[Deezul1]

My 96 didnt respond well to high beams behind me unless the slider was open and then it worked fine.

Re: TowPro

What does it look like when its working? How can I test it?

 

[yogibear]

There's a button on the bottom of the mirror, when it is pushed up, a light comes on to tell you its on. If you have a topper on, your probably not getting enough light to make it function.
