Rear view mirror temp and compass not working by 996scott

Hoping someone can help. The temp and compass quit working on the rear view mirror of my 02 suburban. It worked on and off for a while and now quit completely. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I don't know if it is the mirror or maybe a sensor somewhere that is broken. Any thoughts would be great. If not I guess i'll get it to the dealer. Thanks.

I'm thinking it's the mirror or some part of it, not a sensor. After all, the temp and compass info surely come from two different sources. Does the auto-dimming still work?

I'm not sure if the auto dimming is working or not. I'll have to check that when I get home. My thought was the mirror as well. I'll probably have to have the dealer check it. Thanks for the help.

I'd be checking the power to the mirror..........

I gotta ask. You did turn it on did you? There is the button on the mirror that turns it on and off.
 
You might check the electrical connector to the mirror. It is located just above the mirror in the cable running behind the cover attached to the window. Perhaps there is a bit of poor contact there. Are you getting any display in the mirror at all? Are any of the lights working? The Air Bag light is in the bottom of the mirror, does it still work? I do not think it is a problem with the power to the mirror as it shares power with several other things in the interior and you would know if a fuse was blown. Also do not think it is a problem with the inputs as there are two separate inputs as discussed before.
