Abs Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Hello all, My passenger side wing mirror has stopped adjusting! It only moves down (using the electronic control). It does not move up or left/right, only down (it folds in fine, just the mirror adjustment which is the problem). I've wound the window down to listen to the motor and it does not seem to be even trying to move it... the driver's side adjusts perfectly fine. Does anyone have any idea's of what it could be and a fix? I have removed the glass and re-seated it, in case it was that, but the problem is still there. As mentioned, the motor does not seem to be moving, but bizarely, only moves 1 direction, down. Edited December 27, 2008 by Abs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHe Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Does the driver side mirror work in all directions? If it has the same problem, then it's likely the switch, otherwise, it's wiring or motors in the mirror. Check for power at the motors when you move the switch. Can you move the mirror fine by hand? Does it sound like a motor is being moved when you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abs Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hi mate, The driver's side mirror works fine in all directions, thus I believe the problem is not with the switch. I can move the passenger mirror by hand, no problem, but not via switch (only works in the down position).... if it was the wiring which is the problem, i guess this "down movement" wouldn't work. I believe it's the motor which needs replacing? Any idea's on how easy it is to replace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
