Thanks for the reply. That is how they work, and I disconnected the battery for about 15 minutes (experimenting) but it was still green. I know the car has another source of power (diodes or something) to retain power when there is no battery power because all of the electronics (radio presets, etc.) were still there when I reconnected the battery. Maybe I will leave the battery disconnected over night and maybe the diodes will run down. If that happens, then I will find the connection for the mirror and disconnect it. Thanks again.
