Passenger side power fold mirror not working
Hi all. Just fitted a set of power fold mirrors to my 75. The driver side mirror works fine and folds but the passenger side mirror does nothing. It adjusts fine but just doesn't fold. Anyone have any advice on how to fix or diagnose the problem? Cheers

All the wiring/connectors present at the passenger side? Two connectors, one for adjustment and heating, one for folding.

Try this first using contact cleaner / pencil rubber

If the board is not the problem it could be the mirror gears have packed up

What he said... you need a little 2-wire connector to take the power to the passenger side, and a lot of later cars (including mine) didn't have the twin cable which connected the two sides. The wires are orange and orange/something else! Possibly red or black. Bit of a pig of a job, but doable, to install the wiring if it's not there - let us know

Yeh I swapped out the door looms on both sides. Bit of a job had to take both front doors off. Just the passenger side that's not working. Quote:

How easy is it to change those gears? I have the later skullcap types. |

If its the gears you should still hear the motor working. Quote:
Where did you get the mirrors and do you know if they were working correctly before you got them? |

Got the mirrors from Tom Force, he said he tested them and they were working when I got them. I don't hear anything from the mirror when I press the button. The voltage to the mirrors would just be straight 12V right? |
