Homelink showing everything with green tint?

Anyone ever had a problem with everything in the rear view homelink mirror showing up as gaving a green tint? Its as if Im looking through some green filter...... would that mean its broken?

yes. your questions were already answered. It's not homelink, it is the auto dimmer (ie when headlights,or any bright reflection are in your rear view, instead of adjusting manually, the "AUTO DIMMER" does if for you )
