My Fabia 1 2001 door mirror switch is playing up, mirrors going in out up and down, when I try to adjust them, the control knob feels very sloppy, as though it maybe broken ; technician I think broke lugs when he replaced window mechanism, I just used a dab of silicone to hold in place

searched the Internet but all I can find is left hand drive ones

i ask please, where can I purchase for right hand drive

If you have a look at this thread, it appears that the earlier type switch that you have was superseded....

Many thanks

found one secondhand exactly the same as mine on famous auction site, £18

just hope ok and have not wasted my money

was always puzzled by L+R setting, and the L being at the bottom by itself

do you know ?
many thanks mate

No problem, hope the one you have bought works OK 🙂

 

I don't know why they designed it like that. The fact that they phased it out suggests that they knew it was a poor design.

Many thanks Lee,

May I Ask  if the one I have bought is not up to much, what is the one I have to get ?
thanks again 

I would think 6Y2 959 565E JDY or 6Y2 959 565B JDY

Hello,

I purchased 2 switches, one exactly the same as mine, never seen the point of adjusting 2 mirrors at the same time though.

Any way I then purchased one, quite cheap from I believe a 2006 Fabia, has mirror seperate, you either adjust left by itself or right by itself, makes sense I think.

Excited, I removed the old switch put the one from the 2006 model in, nothing.

removed that put the one in exactly the same as mine, working, no problem

have attached pics

i ask is there any way I can test the switch off the car to see if it actually works, or have I been done lol

regards

Changing the switch won't change the operating logic so I'm not surprised it doesn't work unless the control module can be recoded to suit. 

Many thanks, to be honest never gave that a thought.

bonus is I put the one in I also had and all working ok

The idea of individual and paired mirror operation is you set the right using the pair option, tweak the individual left and then if someone else uses the car they can adjust both at once using paired option. I'm taller and sit further back than my partner and this works fine. Also if you're parking to car park lines you can drop them both at once and then reset - less faff 😎. 

i have same issue but cannot find one of these anywhere like rocking horse **** ive tried everywhere but i cant get a replacement 😞
