electric mirrors stopped working

[danielok90]

I have a 92 VP commodore executive and ever since I've had it the electric mirrors have only worked in 2 directions, right and down, whenever I try to switch the mirrors up or left nothing happens. Does anyone know what the problem could be?

good chance its the switch if its doing it on both mirrors

[Morton]

If it's both mirrors in the same direction, you've probably got poor contacts on the switch. I'd take it apart and give it a clean

[danielok90]

thanks for that, il give it a try and see how it goes

yeah its the switch on the door. ive gone through like 3 of them. dont know why, but some of them are just dodgy.

try finding a switch from a VS commo, apparently they are plug and play and work better. i have the same problem with my mirrors.

They are a slightly different shape but they will fit.

Yeah you'll need to file the hole a little if your going to use a vs one or get the whole vs plastic grip handle thingo. As to Stocky's post, I think they all get hammered from using the windscreen washers with the window down... Pretty bad design IMO because water drips straight onto them.

Edit: Oh and don't listen to Morton
