Rear view mirror fuse?
I am getting no power to my rear view mirror. The courtesy lights work fine but the mirror does not illuminate and the radar detector that I have hardwired in does not get power.
I have searched the forum but cannot find anything C6 related. Fuse panel under passenger footwell also doesn't mention anything related to the rear view mirror from what I can tell.
Where is this fuse? Why would my mirror not get power but the courtesy lights still function?
Thanks
To clarify - when the rear view mirror is plugged in the map lights work fine but there is no onstar light, no passenger air bag light, no compass.

Radar detector is fine with cigarette outlet
I have removed and rewired the hard wire to be absolutely sure it isn't the problem. Also made sure all of the wires are tight in the back of the mirror connector. Not sure what the problem could be other than the mirror but doesn't make sense why the radar detector also doesn't work.

1) the rear back up light fuse (10A)
2)ISRVM/HVAC Fuse (10A)
Close-up fuses
Good luck

Did this just start happening after the detector install?
If so, does the mirror work with the detector's harness (pins) pulled out of the mirror plug?
Maybe a short in the detector's harness and/or reversed polarity.

Regarding the schematic: The reverse light power does not power the mirror.
When the back up lights are on, the mirrors logic system 'senses' this and turns off the mirror's dimming feature, if it's on.

Thank you all. I have no idea why it happened but I haven't touched it for years and it has been fine. I ended up going through and pulling each fuse to see if one was blown and it was the ISRVM/HVAC. I replaced it and it has been fine so far. Hopefully just some kind of short in the old hard wire
