Neither side mirror adjusts - 2008

[sandiegosteve]

I just noticed that neither of my side view mirrors adjust from the controls on the driver arm rest.

This makes me think there is either a loose connection or a blown fuse. Searching the forums doesn't turn much up.

Has anyone ever had both mirrors stop responding to adjustments? To answer the obvious question, yes, I've moved the toggle switch.


Thanks in advance.

That’s not going to have it’s own fuse , so unless other stuff has stopped working as well, it’s likely not a blown fuse.
I would take the door panel off and inspect the wires going to the connector.

Thank you. I didn't see a fuse dedicated to them, so this is good confirmation.

The switch in the armrest has probably died. I had a similar issue with a window switch a while back. The switch panel is one piece, meaning the whole thing is one unit. I bought a used one off Ebay with a 30 day warranty and it's been fine. You won't find it on Rockauto, and the OEM unit is mega bucks.

Edit - ugh, just realized that's a separate switch from the main window switch assembly. Sorry. But the good news is that it should be fairly cheap to replace. $47.79 on Rockauto, Dorman part # 901729.

I just picked up my 4th gen but I've been noticing I got a similar issue not fully dead but I have to fight with it to get the mirrors to move push the button and move different directions and shit and then it finally goes... on my third gen I had to replace the window switches because my passenger side window stopped working ended up being the switch replaced and worked fine afterward....
