Default Auto dimming mirrors don’t dim anymore

Wondering what went wrong here. Rear view and outside mirrors don’t dim anymore. I can turn the switch on and off and the green light turns on I Sisi sting that the feature is on, but it doesn’t work. Anyone run into this? I was thinking maybe a fuse but a fuse would disable the whole mirror (no light or compass).

that is odd, especially since it affects all three mirrors. maybe a wiring issue downstream of the switch? Or just a bad switch, and somehow the design is such that the light still comes on.

My guess is a bad sensor. I shined a flashlight on the sensor and nothing. It’s annoying when you have a truck behind you with its lights burning your retina and you can’t do nothing about it.
