Side mirrors not working
Side mirror control switch not working on my 2004 Ls430 not working. Checked fuse 35 & 39 but both appear good. Any other fuses I should check? Anybody else ever have this problem? Closest Lexus dealer is several hundred miles away so would appreciate any Help.
Thanks @bradland .
Beware of the link to the $9 motor on Amazon fix on another thread on here. You'll see my comments there. Getting mirrors apart is VERY tricky, and then the motor from the link didn't match the one in the mirror.
Step 1 is try contact cleaner inside the switch, step 2 is buy a new switch on several different discounters mentioned on this site, then step 3 is......drop a grand or more on new mirrors. There are after-market, but they will always lack something like auto dimming or the auto reverse tilt down feature.
Or do what I did in 2019...sell the LS430 with the non-working mirrors and buy another one with working mirrors.
