I just bought an immaculate '98 Tahoe with one exception.
When I tap the Temp button on the rear view mirror it goes blank.
When I hold the Temp button for three seconds (according to the book it should give me the option between Celsius and Fahrenheit) all I get is OC on the display. Pushing Temp again does nothing, I have to wait until OC goes away.
Everything else on the mirror works just as it is supposed to, including the compass and auto dim features.
Before I replace the temp sensor (behind the grill I believe?) I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this 'code'?

This is my first 'Hoe' so be gentle.

Thank you for any help!

unknown at this time.
it means open circuit. check the two wires leading out to sensor. Light green/black and brown for shorts or breaks if none then do the sensor. it is behind the grill.

Thank you very much!
All wires are good so it must be the sensor.
