Side Mirror BMW X5 E53 N62

[ddeen]

So with my transmission troubles out of the way I felt like I needed a challenge and worked on my side mirror. The driver side up down/side to side motor was not working. I disconnected the wiring harness on the driver side switch to start trouble shooting. When I reassembled everything the passenger side mirror and window now do not function. All I did was pull out the harness connector to the switch. Do you guys know what connector in the driver side door transfers the signal to the passenger side? Any tips on what this could be? Also any tips on getting power into the driver side mirror motor? Thanks.

It's been a while since I worked on the mirrors but I would say double check that you have everything plugged together properly and then check the fuses.

I remember of reading a trick to reinitialize the driver's side switch panel after disconnecting and reconnecting it with the battery plugged in... See if I can find it.

Edit: Can't find it, but this mentions simply reconnecting the harnesses, though, you've probably tried that already. https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...ease-help.html

My scanner will directly run the mirrors helping to determine if it's a switch
