Ok so here it goes. Yesterday i got my leds for my rearview mirror (194 wedge types) so then i go and try to take the old ones out and there a PITA so you may already know. So i take one out fine no problem with needle nose pliers and when i go take the other one out it breaks inside ;( so now me being excited i put the other led in rhe socket and one broken one. THEN I try to take out the broken glass with a tweezer little by little and im getting frustrated. Then finally i think i short circuited the rearview mirror because my brand new led goes out and doesnt come back on. So then i finally take all the glass out and debris from the broken bulb and put the bulb on and nothing. now none of the rear view mirror lights go on at all. Funny thing is that the on star still works fine and functions properly but the lights! Im stuck i checked the fuses by the passenger side door.( fuse 27 which is labeled interior lighting or something like it. Nothing fuse is fine no problem.) I also checked the fuses under the hood and i didnt find anything about the interior rear view mirror of the lights.) I even disconnected the mirror which is connected to the car im guessing for on star porpuses.. so yea my dilemma no rear view mirror lights.. everything else is fine. All dash lights are fine all bulbs on the outside as well.. any thoughts? Comments about this problem maybe i can get some guidance.. i cant enjoy my leds now looks like i may have burnt out the mirror oh well ..

 

Bump for a desperate human being

 

First world problems

 

Sucks :* btw i thibk i saw your previous post about dating an mma chick thats great.. but yea i need this mirror fixed.. might get a multi meter and check all the fuses one by one.

 

just get a 5$ test light and hook it to a ground. Take the screwdriver part and test each fuse on the little medal part and if it lights up you know it's good...

Or you could just pull out the fuses for the rear view circuit and see if they popped

 

Hmmmm rear view circuit?? Tell me more you mean i have to open the mirror? I took it off but couldnt take it apart, i wanted to check if i messed up or burnt something in there so i know whether or not to purchase a new rear view mirror -_-

 

Maybe they need turned around 180 degrees. I know some leds only work one way.

 

Never mind I see you said the one was working now it is not.

 

All fuses were good but i tested the mirror and no power i checked it with the multi meter.. now the fun part taking it apart anyone kno how to take it apart?

 

did you swap fuses to see if the mirror would work and something else would not work? Howd you determine the fuses are all good?

 

If the other light still works and the mirror features (On Star) do then it isnt a fuse.

OP, look closely, I bet you bent the metal prongs with you shoved the LED in with the broken bulb in the socket still. DISCONNECT the battery, get a small tool, and bent the metal tabs against each other again. Insert your bulb and you should be good to go. Bulb is most likely not working because it has no contact for power.

 

I will try this. Thank you if anything ill just get another mirror.
