Default Green Mirror

98 Deville Concours

Driver's side mirror is green all the time. Apparently it thinks there's a car with it's high beams on behind me. Any easy things to look for? I was going to open it up and make sure the electrical connections are clean.

The power supply to dim comes from the inside rear view mirror. Is there anything blocking the "eye" in the inside mirror?

The interior mirror appears to work properly. I think the inside and driver's side are supposed to work together?-I think that is what I read in the owner's manual. The interior mirror is silver/normal color in the day and seems to dim at night when cars are behind me. The driver's door mirroris green all the time.

If you have the electrochromatic mirror option o/s mirrors will tint with input from rear view. If view appears to be discolored or distorted as compared to othe mirrors, you may new mirror assembly

The mirror is reflecting the scene clearly, it is just a light green color like the mirrors look when they are dimming-all the time.
