Power Mirrors not workin

au^dude · 15-11-2009, 10:03 PM

Hey i have a slight problem, my power mirrors dont work.
I noticed it last week when trying to adjust my mirrors. the left one worked fine, but the right one would work goin down left and right but wouldn't work goin up it would blow the fuse for the radio.
So i thought that the actual button was broken so i got a new one but now my mirrors dont work at all.

Anyone got any idea's.

Try adjusting the mirrors by hand - sometimes the motor/gears get stuck and this can unstick them. If that doesn't work, then the wiring may be shorting somewhere or the motors need replacing - eBay usually has them for around $100 per side.

I think im gonna have a look at the wiring first before i go and spend $100, theres nothing else that could be the problem? AFAIK They dont have a fuse, can someone confirm that

Pretty sure there is a fuse - will check the gregory's to see which one it is.

Try fuse #4 - cigarette lighter fuse. The wiring diagram shows the mirrors using both that and the radio fuse. If the cig fuse is blown, check your phone charger; my in laws one kept blowing uses in every car they tried it in (until I pointed out that it's probably at fault)!

ok im back for some more help, now i got another set of mirrors and still got the same problem. Anyone else got any ideas?

Is there some sort of main control module that controls the mirrors?

Probably the BEM (Body Electrics/Electronics Module). It's tucked up under the dash, near your left knee.

Well i just tested everything for power, turns out that im not getting any power to the control button thing. So i guess that there must be some wire gone somewhere.

Have you had the door skin off for some reason? Perhaps you've damaged one of the wires?
