Man, good luck with that plug! Its a pain, need little finger.
Unfortunately, I have 12V at pins 3 and 10. I guess I could have guessed that from the clown nose illuminating when locked.
I had 6 V between pins 1 (switch?) and 10.

Sheet. My clown nose blinks as well. Maybe I don't even need to check it know and just assume its the actual mirror?Originally Posted by Oli77

That is my conclusion at this point. Resolution: I am used to the way it is now and since I have never experienced this function and can't be missing it that much.

Pin 1 is suppose to have 12V when you are in reverse with the car on.
Problem with the pin outs is that it varies from car to car depending on SOS assist or not. It made retrofit autodim mirror more difficult.

^ that and also, you can't test the switch (blocking forward eye and shinning on back-facing eye) cause the mirror won't switch since it is disconnected (duh).
I gave it on thinking it was a bad contact.

you can always drive pin 3 with 12V and pin 10 ground to test it. The clown nose is on a separate constant power source that either uses pin 8 or pin 2 for constant 12v.

So I think I made a bone head move.
I thought my clown nose was lose the other day so I went to twist it back in to place and what do you know the mirror tilted to the night setting.
Do I not have an auto dim mirror or is this clown nose function a manual fail safe type deal?

I think from another thread, it was determined that with auto dim the clown nose will not turn.

Thanks. I just saw that thread too.

If you can tilt with the clown nose you do not have an autodim mirror. Auto dim mirrors have a dot at the top of the mirror
