Posted: Wed Mar 22, 2006 9:32 pm
Does your mirror switch not work properly?
i.e. not make the mirrors go up,down,left or right?
Try this simple fix.
Remove plastic shroud/window inner seal(Dependant on model)from car,pop switch out of the front.
Unplug switch from loom,pull off circular toggle.
Gently prise out switch from rear of holder.Be careful as 3 tiny metal cones are liable to fall out and bounce everywhere
Proceed to clean and lubricate the 3 pronged sprung contact bit,then remove and clean the 3 metal cones.
Finally,clean all the contacts.
Re-assemble,and Hey Presto! You should now have a fully working mirror switch
Note.Similar as they may seem,the switches from a GM900 will not work correctly in a 9-5 unless you reverse the contacts on the left mirror/right mirror switch
