Evening all!
My S-Type 2007 2.7d electro chromatic rear view mirror is not working. The same is happening to the side mirrors too. I notice the green LED is not lit on the mirror. The mirror itself has not got the auto and off buttons. The car has auto lights and wipers (which work fine), and looking on the web it mentions fuse 16 in the fuse box footwell. I have checked the fuse and all is fine, as the fuse is the same for the heated seats (which work). My question is where is the rear view mirror powered from? I am guessing that, as it has no power, it is the reason for the side mirrors not working too.
Any ideas??

Re: S-Type Rear View Mirror
I recently replaced both my Rear View and Side Mirror (Side Glass only) at different times, as both of mine had turned dark green,(fully dimmed) like you I never found out where the feed came from though mine were still live but just not returning from fully dimmed. Thankfully my Interior Mirror just turned dark green, some end up black and green with a wavy line, caused by the Gel failing, that's when you have to worry as the Gel is caustic and can leak out and burn the Plastic Interior.

If a replacement is required, no doubt Eurojag could oblige with a good second hand part at a reasonable cost. Eurojag advertise in our magazine.

Great News! It seems that a loose wire on the wing mirror was the cause. Once re-connected all is fine!
Am happy again.
