electrical problem. Coincidence ?
I have a 2003 anv edition vert with 59000 and some change. only mods are vararam cold air (VRB2), Vararam power duct, B&B shorty hedders,slp powerflow cat back and a tune. All of these were installed at least 6 months before I had any problems.
I noticed that my mirrors quit dimming automaticly,(all of them) the night light on the bottom of the inside rearview mirror quit and the back up lights quit working in reverse. They do flash when I lock or unlock with the remote so at least the bulbs are good. I get no codes when I try to pull them up either right after I shut off the engine or when it is running (even in reverse). All of this happened at about the same time. Any idea where I should start?
