Repairing Power Mirrors
From: edwin e. torres (eet@flash.net)
Problem: On my late 93 VR6, both power
sidemirrors will not function. I get a clicking sound when I depress the
power buttons. I checked the fuse and it's OK. Anyone have an idea at what
gives?
Well thanks to Brendan, a.k.a. G60 racer, I solved this one simply and
beautifully. If followed properly it should work. Procedure is as follows:
- On drivers side door, remove leather or faux-pas leather strip on door
handle with small screwdriver by prying gently from both sides.
- Remove 2 screws holding door handle in place and remove entire handle
assembly.
- Disengage wire connector plug on rear.
- Turn entire assembly around and gently pry off the small circuit board
behind the mirror positioning buttons.
- You will then find the culprit. My boards copper contacts had become
oxidized! Proceed to clean these carefully with a good contact cleaner.
Follow chosen products instructions exactly!
- Proceed to reassemble all using reverse procedures and voila! It worked!
Oh yea, you try this at your own risk and I cannot be
held responsible for damages incurred on your own vehicle. (legal
nomenclature :( )
