Default Auto dimming mirrors
I have a 2011 FX4 that has the auto dimming mirrors, the problem is that only rear view and driver side mirror dim,y passenger side mirror does not....is the normal? I don't really remember ever notice them working or not until about a month ago.


Thanks

Ok cool, I was afraid that maybe when I had my last service at the dealership that they broke the original auto dimming mirror and just stuck a regular mirror on.....

I'm just learning my new truck, it has the dimming mirrors. Is there a way to turn them on/off or are they always on?

Always on with parking/headlights! Ford wont allow you to turn off the interiors lighting/exterior lighting, they sure as hell wont let you disable auto-dim mirror feature.... That may have cost Ford like a additional $5-10 per truck!

Ok, so has anyone figured a way to disarm this feature??
I hate it, Especially night driving in the rain!
It kills my depth perception !
