Comp-Temp Display is Very Dim

[FlyboyTR]

The replacement mirror worked great for the first few days of our ski trip. Then, the comp/temp display when blank (completely). However, the auto dimming part of the mirror is still working. I will try to reflow the 6 solder joints prior to asking for a replacement from the used parts dealer.

...when will it end! LOL

Ha ha ha! Talk about some bad luck when it comes to mirrors!

When it goes blank, does it gradually go from bright to blank or is it pretty quick?

When it went, it apparently went quick and never came back on.

That's crazy!

Yep. I'm beginning to think the Yukon may be possessed! So far, It has been one thing after another. Oh well... one step at the time!

I may try to pull the mirror today and try to reflow the joints. I'll update after that is done.

OK. I pulled the "replacement" mirror and did the reflow solder joints on the six designated spots. Hooked it up and all is well! Chris, thanks for that wonderful tip. At least it finally worked for me! LOL

Hopefully it's a permanent fix for you, would drive me up the wall if all that was happening to me! Make sure that one works for you and when you decide it does, let me know and I'll take the other one off your hands!

Thanks. I'll be shipping it to you in a few days. I took a hard spill on the snowboard on Tuesday. ended up with a mild concussion; balance is way off (lot's of staggering) and it has also effected my vision. However, thankfully...all things seem to be resolving, albeit a bit slowly! I've got to get better....leaving in 2 weeks for another 8 day ski/board trip! Yep...I'll probably be the old guy on the kiddie slope this go round! LOL

No biggie man, like I said before take your time and let me know when you do so I can send you some $$$. And yes, getting old sucks because crashes of that sort take way longer and seem to be more painful than the younger years!

I just re-soldered mine tonight, hopefully will have positive results tomorrow!
Thank you for sharing the info on this simple repair.
