Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that report identifying a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Read full discussion summary

Leading evidence: 'particular remote' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'particular remote' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Test other one' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

So I went to my car today and my remote fob didn't work. Unlocked it, battery was fine, car started up and drove. Got to my destination, fob worked fine to lock the car. Went to go back in, fob worked, got in, turned on radio, showed AMPLIFIER NOT PRESENT. Turned off the car, restarted, same issue. Got out, tried locking the car with the fob, didn't work. Locked manually. Left for about 10 minutes, came back and got in (car was still unlocked), turned on radio, was working fine now so I figured the key would be working too. Got out to lock, but the key fob still wasn't working. Also, the past few days, I've noticed my side rear dimming mirrors have a distinct blue inside, and a clear ring around them; as if they aren't getting any power. This goes away after some time and it all blends together, but very randomly will turn blue again. Does the mirror thing ever happen to anyone else? Where you can distinctly see the part that is electrochromic and the part that is not? I've had electrochromic mirrors before, but never had the blue be so distinct. The amplifier and key fob are on different fuses, but since they work sporadically, I don't think the fuse is the culprit. Car has no other electrical problems either, no PSM failure or anything. Previous key posts show that sometimes it's just the fob, so I will test the other one when I get home later today. The little light inside on the lock button doesn't blink with the key, so no signal is being received. When I get in, it is detected as key 1. - Suneet

POST 2Original post

It was the particular remote... wierd. Amplifier issue hasn't returned, but that blue mirror thing is still kind of creeping me out, any input from owners with the auto dimming mirrors? - Suneet

POST 3Original post

Suneet, Any chance that a harness got pinched or damaged during your PCM install?

POST 4Original post

I had the mirror issue before the PCM install The other problems are gone; except of course for that one remote which I suspect needs a new battery or reprogramming. I guess it might not even be an issue with the mirrors, they're just excessivly blue... - Suneet

POST 5Original post

I have the same blue in my mirrors from time to time.

POST 6Original post

Blue ring I too have the blue ring. Seems to occur when there is just the right combination of glare/light. If you power off the interior mirror, the blue pretty much goes away on the outside mirrors.

POST 7Original post

Yea... it's wierd because the electrochromic mirrors I've experienced in my old Acura and SLK don't have the blue and dim just as effectively.
