showtime Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 it will be the sensor in the door mirror can't remember exactly which side mirror its in as its different between models! but if you feel along the bottom edge of the mirror casing you'll feel a small lump under one of them, that is the sensor. yu'll need to pop the glass off to access the sensor, use a long thin screwdriver is best & don't go mad you'll either break the glass or the motor mechanism! then you should be abl to see the back of the sensor itself & the 2 thin black wires that go to it. the new sensor will come with about 2 feet of wire attached! the best way to replace the sensor is to cut the wires just at the original sensor, shorten the wires on the new one to a workable length & solder & heatshrink the wires together & slip the sensor into its mounting hole/clip assembly. half hour at most! don't worry about which way the black wires go as they are not polar sensitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
