    I was wondering if anyone knew why my backup mirror doesn’t have any power? I’m not sure if it’s a fuse issue, wiring issue, or something else? If anyone has info that would be great

    Considering it's not an OEM offering, there's no telling. It's easy to speak to anything OEM because we generally know how it's wired, but with aftermarket crap, you're at the mercy of the installer and/or installation method used.

    How is it wired in? Like, do you see any extra wires in the fusebox under the driver's side dash that may be loose or blown? What make/model/part number is it? How old is the mirror, is it possible it just died? Have you tested the plug on the back of the mirror to see if you're at least getting power to the plug?

    If it's cheap shit that was bought off scAmazon, there's a good chance it just died. Aside from being a huge source of authentic-looking counterfeit parts these days, scAmazon is home to tens of thousands of 'off-brand' cheap Chinese garbage electronics with short lifespans.
