Default Dimming mirrors stopped working.

For some reason the rear view and side mirrors stopped dimming when I hit the button on the rear view mirror. The little green light still comes on. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

The sensor for the auto dimming mirrors is located in the inside rearview mirror. Make sure it's not obstructed or dirty. It's about the size of a small LED. If the green light is working, and your vanity lights in the visors are working, then your fuse is good(#2, 10amp in pass footwell). If all of that checks out, then you may have to replace the inside mirror to fix it, as the sensors appear to be non-replaceable.
I'm not 100% on that, any one else???
