Default Inside Auto Dimming mirror ???

Hello,

I just have a short question in regards of my C6... Actually after some testing it seems that my inside mirror auto dimming feature is not working properly.
The feature works perfectly for the outside driver mirror but actually nothing happens for the inside one ???
Do someone can provide me with some direction on how to get that issue troubleshooted ???

Many thanks in advance ... since I'm totally new in the corvette world this would be a really great help

First questions: Is the power for it turned on? Is the light illuminated indicating so?

My autodimming is horrible in my C6. I have a tinted rear window, maybe that's what is throwing it off.

I hate the rear view mirror in my 2008.

Actually my rear window is not tinted ... so I don't think this could be the issue?
I'll try to unmount the mirror, to check if everything looks correct on the electrical side

Since the inside mirror switch and sensor control the outside mirror it sounds like there is something wrong with the portion of the inside mirror's circuitry that controls the dimming of the inside mirror.

Are the back up lights on? If the back up lights are on the inside rear view mirror will not dim so it can be used while backing up.
