Electric Wing Mirror not working - how to tell whats wrong?
Posted: Fri Dec 05, 2008 11:29 am
The drivers side electric wing mirror has stopped working (the thing that moves it).
How can I find out what is wrong with it? Assuming it may be the motor inside the wing mirror as the left still works, so I am assuming its not the switch.
If I take it apart (hard job?) how can I tell if its the motor that’s gone? If the wires coming into the motor have a voltage(or resistance?) across them when the switch is pressed would that signal the motor has gone? Or could it just be the fuse that has gone?
