How do I fully disable the passenger mirror motor that controls the folding. I already tried unplugging it from the button on the dash and that didnt work, Everytime i start the car the gear strips and winds. Im trying to prevent further damage till i get it fixed.

Reset the ECU see if it will cease. (remember, search before you post. )

I searched posts and i could not find a thread about resetting ECU. I dnt even know where it is. The search engine for this site is not very accurate. This is prob why people repeat threads all the time. Could you please help me by pointing me in the right direction. I have a 2004 LS 430 with 65K miles. I just want to cut power to the motor folding mechanism or try resetting it. Im trying my best to find answer and I been searching tons of threads. Im not very familiar with the car but im trying to learn.

Thanks!

I myself don't even use this site to search for threads because it's not accurate. I just search it up on the internet.

To reset the ECU, all you have to do is disconnect the negative battery terminal for a couple minutes. In so doing, this makes the vehicle have to re learn it's set-up factory procedures. Hopefully this will stop the problem. GL!

Ok so I tried unplugging batt to reset ECU and that didnt work. Then I unplugged the fuse that controls the motor and that worked but it kills all power to the passenger door, (door lock, window, lights, etc). So I guess I will have to manually unlock the door buy hand and not use that window for a while. Oh well I guess its better than causing more damage in the long run. Thanks to everyone who helped me find a solution!..
