Compass/ Map Lights

Hi all,
My 2010 C300 seems to have lost the compass in the rear view mirror. I also noticed that both map lights do not work either. The garage door opener still works at this time. Has anyone stumbled upon this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Nope. Check your fuses/bulbs

It turns out it was the mirror assembly itself. I verified power and ground at map lights with switch on and off. It was good. I ordered and installed new mirror, all good. Thanks for your help.

I was rear-ended in an accident, noticed shortly after that compass and map lights stopped working. Notice a couple weeks after the insurance claim and was not able to add to claim. Anyway, took it to dealer, and they stated that the first option would be to change the mirror, and then continue to investigate the problem. the cost at the dealer is ridiculous, so was wondering where you got your new mirror.


thanks
