Side view mirrors

Hi all,

I just bought a 2004 rx330. While test driving it, the mirrors moved up and down side to side just fine. When I got it home they stopped working completely. I've read other posts, but have not seen any where the mirror stops working completely. If anyone knows what the problem is, I'd really appreciate it

Make sure the switch is pressed left or right before pressing the directional buttons. You have to have the L OR R pressed down then try moving the direction.

When the switch is in the middle position, the mirrors also will not rotate down while in reverse...just in case that is what behavior you are noticing. Thought ours were broken the first time I didn't see the mirrors moving...

Could be the motor or just a simple fix, I bring my in this Saturday to find out.

Try giving the mirrors a bit of a hand. Press gently against one corner of the glass until you hear a click and feel the mirror move. Do this with each mirror. Next, try using the controls. Do they move or if not do you hear the motor trying to move the mirrors? You may need to have the windows down to be able to listen for the mirror motors.
