Default electro-chromatic glass

Hello everyone.

My Corvette is a 2003, 6 speed, 80 000 miles on it.
I'm French so my Car is a European version with the convenience package.

My Driver side Miror glass stay in Night position ( tinted ) but the interior Miror is functional ( Night or Day position )
No different color on the Glas, 100% tinted like in Night. Before buying a new one that is very expensive, how can I chek it ?How can I control that the problem does not come from elsewhere ?

A Pics :

Very nice looking car!

For the outside mirror dimming problem; some members have experienced this same problem which leaves you with a very dim mirror during daylight hours.
Here is a link to a fix one member did. Doing this will cause you to lose the auto-dim feature, but it will give you a good, bright mirror during the day. This could save you the cost of replacing the mirror.

If you want to replace your mirror to keep the auto-dimming feature, you may want to contact forum vendor Vettenuts to see if he has any good used ones.
Good luck with this and hope it is an inexpensive fix for your mirror.
