Hi,

Hopefully if I read everything correctly. I am glad everyone has resolved their issues for the dimming control. Every month we are able to drive/sit in our GM vehicles. I try to learn all the features I see here on the forum to be a better guide. I'll try to ask what other features your vehicle has Joe In NY, next month.

And my drivers mirror lightens when I put it in reverse. I gave it a try this week end.

Default Dimming Mirror

I'mwith you on this. I've had my Equinoxfor a year and it just came on somehow at 6:30 am. I could not see if a vehicle was next to me as I was getting on the highway. My rear view mirror did the same. Are they wanting an accident to happen. It needs to go. I just have to first figure out how to turn it off. Ugh!!!!

Thankfully it doesn't work on the passenger mirror so I can at least see. I almost got into an accident because of this feature and don't want to do it again.

How on earth do I disable it?

if you press and hold the one on the rear view it will turn the little green light off and the auto dark even with the display

Default 'disable until I turn back on...?

I see this quoted through out these threads. But it seems this only turns it of for a cycle of power. When I turn key back on and typically put on reverse - there it is again. Black and dark mirrors.
There has to be a way to disable the dimming feature... Anyone...?

Mrs. Cusser had a 1982 Firebird. The driver side mirror was electrically controlled (where driver could simply roll down window to move/aim it) but the passenger side was manual, so driver would need to exit vehicle a few times and aim by trial & error.
