No power to inside rear view mirror

I've been living with this situation for almost a year now. Auto dim and map lights don't work, plus vanity mirror lights don't work either All fuses are good, so I figure must be a break in a wire. I think I may have damaged one while I drove the car for months without any carpet in it ( long story). Any ideas?

The circuit runs along the threshold of the DS door, and up the B pillar. You could start along the threshold since you were driving without the carpet.

So the wire runs from the right side visor, into the mirror, over to the left visor, down the A pillar to the floor, and along the sill at the top of the rocker panel area, correct?

Close, it runs along the roof to the B pillar and down the pillar up the sill to the wiring harness at the kick panel.

Excellent, thanks, now I just need to find a few hours to look into it with a test light.

Next time I'm down there to take a nice scenic drive along the Skyline Drive, maybe we can "do lunch". How far from the entrance are you?

I'm 10 minutes from the northern entrance (Front Royal.) Lemmeknow when you're down and we'll try to meet up!

Anyone know what color wire is the one which transfers power to the auto dim mirror (which includes the map lights)? I removed all plastic interior trim pieces to expose the wiring harness in question. Instead of removing all the electrical tape that transforms all the wires into a bundle, and testing each wire, it would be a lot easier and save much time if I knew what wire to check. Any help is much appreciated!

Orange wires are hot at all times. It goes to the lights. There is also a blk/white (91-93) or a dk blue/white (94-96) that is switched to the lights. The black wire in the 94-96 is ground. In the 91-93 there are 2 black wires, The one that goes to the connector on the B pillar and changes to orange is the hot at all times wire. The compass display on the 91-93 is either blk/lt blue, or pnk/blk. I do not have the wire color for the 94-96 auto-dim. You should be able to eliminate the others and it should be the one left.

Very much appreciated info! Thanks for the prompt reply. Hope to once again have map lights and auto-dim soon.
