side folding mirror fixed with pics
5 Attachment(s)
Hi i was reading about fixing my side mirrors but nobody showes pics so i took chance to fix it or break it.
I tried on driver side first and it worked i didn't have to open pass side but you may have to try both. First remove the cover how to open go here http://www.xoutpost.com/attachments/...g?d=1172692777 2nd you will see something like this in the picture below Attachment 35832 3rd when i pulled a part it looked like this pic below Attachment 35833 4th pick up the broken (steel) piece and b4 you try to put it back on the switch make sure tight the steel end with plier so it will fit properly on the switch. it will fit like this pic below Attachment 35834 5th put the switch back in the cover and slide it back in the mirror and try if the steel thing needs little adjusting like this pic (1 below) or you can try it without putting cover in see pic (2 below) 1 pic Attachment 35835 2 pic Attachment 35837 6th if you can get to this step you will find out how to put it back to gather so enjoy and sorry if i type something wrong. it worked for me i hope it works for you. |
What was not functioning properly for your mirrors. I have the power folding mirrors and they are not working properly. They make the entire folding motion but they dont stay folded in. Was this similar to the problem you were having?

This sounds like it is not very difficult. How would you rate it as far as difficulty on a 1-10 scale? Was it pretty straight forwards after you took the cover off? By fixing the wire on only the drivers mirror this will make both mirrors stay folded in? Thanks for the write up.

There is more to it than just the switch metal piece being loosen or came off. The first time I took the passenger side cover off, fiddle with the switch (switch was good) and it worked for a while i.e. both mirrors fold in nicely and stay folded. After a couple of knocks on the mirror, it was back to the darn mirrors folding in and just as quickly folded out again!!! I have been taking off the mirror cover for a number of times (pretty good with it now) and fiddling with the just about whatever can be fiddle to no avail. :dunno:I gave up in the end and live with it. It is not that important but good to have it working.
I wonder whether one need to "sync" the the mirrors as they are both related to each other? Time to speculate.................anyone??? Thanks SARB. |
Anyone know how to fix a dead mirror direction motor? It seems to have died in the process of trying to fix the folding issue. Still can't figure out the folding issue even with both covers taken off and fiddling with the microswitches.
