Replacing visor courtesy mirror glass

I have a 2008 Grand Caravan with the garage door opener on the lighted visor and the drivers side visor courtesy mirror is shattered (light still works and plastic is mint, just glass mirror is broken). I am told that the only way to fix it is to replace the whole visor. I can't believe there is no workaround to remove the mirror and replace the glass (Spending $300 to repair a $2 mirror is a bit unreasonable) Help!

What is the fuse for the interior lights of a trail blazer 2004 6cil 4.2

Interior Lamps
The interior lighting consist of the following 2 groups. This first group includes lamps that may not be dimmed.
• The cargo lamp
• The dome lamps
• The reading lamps
• The vanity mirror lamps
Courtesy Lamps
The courtesy lamps include the reading lamps, cargo lamp, and dome lamps. The cargo lamp and dome lamps may be manually turned ON or OFF by placing the interior lamp switch in the ON or OFF position. When the driver places the dome lamp defeat switch in the OFF position, these courtesy lamps will be disabled. If a door is opened, the courtesy lamps illuminate. After all the doors have been closed, the courtesy lamps will remain illuminated approximately 15 seconds after the last door closes. The courtesy lamps will also turn ON prior to any door being opened and will remain illuminated approximately 40 seconds when the driver removes the ignition key. The body control module (BCM) will immediately turn OFF the courtesy lamps if a door lock command is received with all of the doors closed, or if the ignition switch is turned to either the ON or RUN position.


These lights ?

Vanity Mirror Lamps
The inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit of the body control module (BCM) provides battery positive voltage to each vanity mirror lamp. When the vanity mirror cover on the sunshade is opened, a switch closes to provide a ground circuit and the vanity lamp illuminates.
Battery Rundown Protection/Inadvertent Power
The body control module (BCM) inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit provides battery positive voltage to all of the interior reading lamps and both visor vanity mirror lamps. In the event that any of these lamps were to remain illuminated for a period of more than 20 minutes with the ignition switch in the OFF position, the BCM will deactivate the inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit to prevent a total battery discharge condition. Only when the ignition switch is cycled back to the RUN position will the BCM reset the internal timer and reactivate the inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit.
The BCM also utilizes the inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit as a courtesy lamp request signal circuit when none of the lamps in the circuit are illuminated. When a lamp switch is activated, the BCM receives the request for lamp illumination and switches to supplying voltage to the inadvertent power courtesy lamps supply voltage circuit.

How do I replace the glass part of the driver side mirror on a Dodge Grand Caravan 2008?

Parts stores carry universal replacement mirror glass precut in different sizes and shapes. If you can use one of these and the old glass is just cracked but intact, just install onto the old glass.

Three buttons on drivers side sun visor

ok, this other guy has the buttons your talking about confused with 3 buttons on the drivers side door panel, just above the handle...
the buttons you are looking at on the visor are programmable to open your garage door...however since i've never owned a garage door that i use at the same time i've owned my grand cherokee, i have never tried setting it, so i'm not exactly sure how to go about that...

Replacing side mirror on 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror onto the door
