Since the camera works on manual, and all the active circuit components 
(amplifiers etc)  are common to both manual and auto mode this tends to 
implicate either the photodiodes or the switch which connects the photodiodes 
on auto.  The most likely culprit is probably the switch or wiring to the 
switch since it would be unlikely for both the photodiodes to fail 
simultaneously. To check the switch you would have to remove the top panel 
which requires some handtools and  some reasonable level of mechanical skill 
and then clean the auto/manual switch. To check wiring would additionally 
require getting at the circuit board in the mirror box base.
