Electric mirrors.

[oldtimer]

noticed today unable to adjust electric mirrors with the control on drivers door. Fuses ok. Any ideas before taking things apart, in case it's something simple?

Dodgy contact in the left/right select switch.

Spray a little WD40 in there with the straw aplicator and it way clean the contacts.

It's not possible to spray anything on it as its a sealed unit. So I removed it from its housing and took it apart and checked it........be aware when doing this that there are four tiny springs inside, easily lost. Anyway, put it all back and its still not working.

Any electrical experts out there with any other ideas?

Well If I had it in my hands along with my test meter I could help you. Over t'internet all I can say is to check and replace the fuses as they may not look like they are blown. Then replace the mirror select/adjust control.

If the fuses are deffo OK I would say again that it's prob a dodgy connection in the left/right selector switch.

Thanks for your help, I'll try the fuses again.
