Wing mirror adjustment
Wing mirror adjustment
Hi could anyone help when I adjust my drivers mirror the passenger mirror moves aswell and when I move my switch to the left for the left mirror nothing moves , they fold no problem I have tried a new window mirror switch unit and it’s still the same . Any advise thanks
Re: Wing mirror adjustment
The window fold motor is not the same as the mirror glass adjusting motor Mechanism.
If you have changed the complete mirror assembly it could be a wiring fault between the controller and the mirror.
I've had a problem years ago with the multiplug between the drivers door and the body, due to water ingress corroding the contacts .
Sorry after reading your post again I see the two mirrors move when adjusting one mirror, a wiring short is even more likely a cause, worth pulling the door to body connection to investigate.

Thanks for the advice , Pulled the connector apart can’t see any obvious signs of corrosion or water apart from the very bottom 2 pins are not the same colour as the others , not sure what the 2 pins are too .
