Mirror adjustment problem

[theosinc930]

Hello,

The right-side mirror adjustment sometimes doesn't work.

If I move the mirror selector switch from right to left two or three times, it works again.

What could it be? The switch panel? The motor in the mirror? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Thanks.

Are you right hand drive? Has coffee got spilled on it, happened to my windows switch.

LHD. I don't recall anything getting spilled on it, but it's certainly possible.

Hi, the buttons for the mirror adjustment have started acting up on both sides now
Do you guys think it’s just the switch module?

Part number: 61316935860

Do you think I can buy a used part from a donor car, or does it have to be new? The new one is pretty expensive…

My car is LHD. Does anyone know if I can get a mirror switch from a RHD car and just swap the plastic cover?
Thanks!

They are easy to take apart and clean the contacts

Check the part number. You may even find it’s the same as RHD. In which case you just swap the trim over
