Key Features
- Auto-dimming (electrochromic) function to reduce glare
- Direct replacement for original equipment on compatible Peugeot 406 models
- Electrical connector for power and ambient/light sensors
- Minor cosmetic damage to the reflective surface; the unit operates correctly
Installation And Replacement
Replacement is straightforward for experienced mechanics and competent DIYers. Typical steps: remove the interior trim or mirror cover to access the mounting fastener, release the mirror from its windscreen mount or bracket, disconnect the electrical connector, fit the replacement mirror, reconnect wiring and verify the auto-dimming operation. Common tools include trim tools and the appropriate screwdriver or Torx bit; exact procedure may vary by year and submodel.
Common Faults And Maintenance
Auto-dimming mirrors can fail due to sensor or electronics faults, wiring or connector corrosion, moisture ingress, or physical impact to the glass or module. Cosmetic marks on the reflective surface do not necessarily affect the electrochromic function. To prolong service life, keep the sensor area clean and check connector pins for corrosion.
