I know, I know, I'm posting on Briskoda about a SEAT but I've posted up on a seat forum a while ago about this and got no help plus I know a few guys on here have had Ibizas in the past.

Anyway, the missus has had her 2006 mk4 FR for a few years now but since she got it the electric mirrors have never worked. It wasn't a big deal as the previous owner was a short arse woman like her so the mirrors were happily in the right position.

It's annoyed me for a while and on the rare occasion that I drive the car I can't move them to suit. I was replacing the foglights and headlight bulbs today and tightening the handbrake cable so wanted to sort the mirrors. I tried to find out what fuse it was but couldn't find any info online. I think this should be the first port of call before I check the mirrors or switch.

Can anyone tell me what fuse number it is and hopefully a location for it as well?

Cheers (and sorry for the long post!)

Have you looked at the cables in the rubber sleeve from the door to the car where the hinges are? I had same problem on my polo a while back. The cables had fatigued and snapped, I just crimped them back together and I had wind blowing through my beard again in no time!

I'll have a look but both windows still go up and down and the switch to lock the door from inside the car still works so it seems unlikely that both would have gone. I'll have a look though.

Got an Ibiza haynes at home will locate the fuse for you.

thank you for the layout TMB

 

Dan, i have a feeling it is fuse number 11 (her's is an '06) but if you get the chance could you double check the Haynes for me please?

Thanks for the help guys - new 5 amp fuse in slot 11 and the mirrors are spot-on. There's no fuse in slot 8 so i'm assuming she doesn't have heated mirrors but she's never had them to miss them

Much appriciated lads

^ Nice one
