2003 Tahoe - electrical problem. The compass and temperature displays on the rear view mirror quit working. Also, the Driver Info Center and radio are no longer illuminated at night (both totally dark). They both work fine during daylight. I've checked all the fuses and can't find a bad one. Rocky

OK... this is from a "SOLVED" 2002 FIXYA post for:

"Temp sensor and compass not displaying on my 2003 yukon xl"


Temp sensor and compass not displaying on my 2003 yukon xl

... this info MAY help you with your 2003 Tahoe ~ it has some good tips for you!?

Here is more:

"Chevy Mechanic: Dave Nova
The problem is going to be a break in the circuit between the *SIR fuse and the yellow wire at the mirror connector. This wire travels through the relay block. You can check connections at the relay block and trace the wiring. You can also just run a new wire, it may be faster."

and

"Check for voltage on the yellow wire at the mirror connector with the key on. If there is voltage on the yellow wire then the problem is inside the circuit board in the mirror and the mirror will need to be replaced."

Dave Nova included the Fuse Block shown below in his post, but I see no "SIR" Fuse? * I just discovered it is a "Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) Fuse = AIRBAGS. The two photos below are MUCH closer to what you should have!

It may be a fuse, but I think that all the dash lights are on the same fuse and if they work, then there is a bulb located inside the rear view that needs to be accessed to be replaced. I would check all fuses with key on and lights on, both sides with a test light, and if all read good then it'll be the bulb.

SOURCE: Can't get the outside temp. showing in the inside backview mirror

Check the connector that plugs into the back of the mirror and make sure it is pushed in all the way. If that is not it, look carefully at the wires going into the connector. I had one that broke off. I had to pull the pin out of the connector and re crimp it onto the wire.

My rear view mirror with temp and compass sometimes will not work. It will show all the digital shows up at once and not the temp, but sometimes it works ok. What can I do?

Does the compass work when the temperature goes out? If the compass still works then chances are that the ambient temp sensor is defective. Also, could be wiring to the sensor. If the compass goes out with the temperature then chances are the mirror itself is defective. Cheapest most common problem is the ambient temp sensor. It's behind the grill by the condenser at the front of the vehicle.

The interior rear view mirror has temperature and compass displays, but only work for a short time at start- up.I have tried unplugging the harness on the back of the mirror and cleaning contacts. It`s...

Temperature Display
The inside rearview mirror supplies a 5 volt signal circuit and low reference circuit to the ambient air temperature sensor. The inside rearview mirror monitors and records the voltage on the signal circuit of the ambient air temperature sensor. The inside rearview mirror uses this recorded voltage to display the temperature on the temperature display portion of the compass/temperature display. The temperature display will show "ICE" when the ignition is first turned on and the current temperature is 3°C (37°F) or below. The display will toggle between "ICE" and the actual outside temperature for approximately 4 minutes.
The mirror will display "OC" if the mirror senses a temperature of less than -40°C (-40°F).
the mirror will display a "SC" if the mirror senses a temperature of greater than 112°C (143°F).



Replace the inside rearview mirror with compass. Refer to Inside Rearview Mirror Replacement .

Temp sensor and compass not displaying on my 2003 yukon xl

Yes. Look in the Fuse Panel inside the Truck. Use a Good Maglight or LED Flashlight and Hold it Behind the Fuses to see the Blown Ones. It is usually in an AUX Outlet. Also check thr Fuse Relay Box under the Hood for a Blown Fuse using the Same Method. See if there is a Relay for this also. If so, Replace it. Let me know if you need any more Help!
