It only works on rear view and driver side correct? My passenger side doesn't seem to do it when this option is turned on. 2018 LoneStar edition btw...

Both my side motors and rear view dim. Maybe your right side isn’t working?

For either side view mirror, the ones that dim will have a thicker "rim" around the glass.
Big Horn/Lone Star trucks only have the driver's side mirror that dims. Laramie and above trims get both side view mirror that dim.

@TexNorseman

I looked into why my driver's side mirror was different on my '15 Outdoorsman (same trim level SLT as yours). I thought about adding the dimming mirror on the passenger, but I have a topper and it doubt it will ever dim(the sensor is in the rearview mirror).
If I read some posts correctly, it's possible to add with replacing the glass part and using AlfaOBD to enable it but I haven't researched.

Crash if its working as intended I'm cool. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't broken.
