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

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
