Hi all. 2006 Escalade w/ about 75k on the clock. I just noticed that with the windshield wipers set to intermittent, the power to the rear-view mirror seems to go out. Specifically I'm referring to the green LED light on the lower left portion, and the LCD compass display in the upper right corner. Whenever I have the wipers on intermittent, using the first 4 or 5 speed settings, the wipers move up to their maximum excursion, and then as soon as they start to move down, the mirror seems to lose power. Like I said, the problem is characterized by the green LED light (left side) going out, and the compass LCD goes out for a second too. When it comes back on a second later, all of the compass LCD segments illuminate for a couple of seconds, just like when you first start up the car. The problem doesn't seem to happen when the wipers are running constantly and not intermittent.
Any idea what could be causing this? Is it indicative of a problem with something deeper than the mirror?
