Electric mirrors - Am I being silly?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Do not seem to be getting any response from electric mirrors - am turning the switch as per manual instructions but they are not moving, anything I can check or is there a secret technique I am not using??!

Have you selected a mirror?

If you've left the selector in the middle nothing will happen.

Where is the selector? I thought by turning the control they would adjust :confused:

You have to twist it up or down to select a mirror and then push/pull the **** to adjust them.

The joystick turns, and also moves up and down and side to side. Turning it selects which mirror(s) you are adjusting. It should have 3 positions labelled L, #, and R (where # is a symbol like the heated rear window switch). In the centre position, it is heating the mirrors, but the adjustment doesn't work. To adjust the mirrors, put it on L first, adjust the LH mirror to suit, then put it on R and adjust the driver's side (on some cars it will move both mirrors when on R). For normal use, leave it on R, not in the centre position.

Thanks to both of you, I was just being extremely dense in not realising that it was a joystick, was twisting away!

Cheers:)

and the centre positon is for heated mirrors on

and the centre positon is for heated mirrors on

Centre? I think not - top (anti-clockwise) is clearly heated mirrors on. Centre is L+R movement. Bottom (clockwise) is L only.

Nope - definatly centre for heated mirrors.

Center is heat for me too. Shame it's not built into the rear window switch by hey ho....

The switch functions change with different model years. My 02 model is different from SWMBOs 04. The 04 model allows seperate operation of L and R mirrors, heating position in middle. 02 model has R only or L + R and heating in upper position.
