Rear View Mirror
When I leave my battery hook up over night the battery goes dead. I think that I found the problem. The lights on the rear view mirror do not go off. I can not turn them off and the time relay that is suppose to turn them off after 15 minutes is not working it appears.
So it seems like a good time to put in a racing mirror like the Wink or something else. I am looking for suggestion as what mirrors different folks like.

Yeah, check the map lights, but otherwise... when the BCM went bad in my C6 it was apparently leaving power on to my auto-dimming mirror (and radar detector that's tapped in off the supposedly "switched" power)... had the BCM replaced [under warranty] and haven't had the problem since.

What about the little dash dimming/interior light ****, just left of the steering wheel. Seem's like just about everyone here(including myself) accidently pushes it in and doesn't know about it. Try pushing it again and see what happen's.

Thanks for the help.

Probably the cause for a lot of dead battery complaints. Very easy to hit that button and if you don't look at the car in the dark you won't know the lights are on.

wink with all the panels.. then **** it and mount the right side on the passenger side of the roll bar halo... give you a better view behind you instead of your helmet.

Since I do not have a roll bar I need to mount to the windshield, I know that Wink has a kit to do it. I am trying to see what different people are using or is Wink the best option.

Personally I don't like the Wink mirrors, but I like the Longacre ones... they're huge, don't vibrate as much, and my brain doesn't need to process all the individual panels.
