Default Mirror ??
Anybody replace or fix the little mirror joystick ? My mirrors go left, right and up. no down. Both mirrors, so it has to be the switch. Rarely use it but now that I know its not right, its bugging me. Bought this car in 98 and never had the console off so I have no idea whats under there.

Yes, I can do it by hand. It irritates me if something doesnt work thats easy to fix. The switch is no longer made but I found some on ebay. I am thinking I may try to spray it with contact cleaner. I dont see how it could be worn out. Almost never gets used.

Thoroughly understand.......

If you have moved it by hand into position, and the electric adjustment doesn't work, then it must be in the wiring/switch.

I have had mirrors (other vehicles) that have been moved out of adjustment range accidentally/intentionally, and when the mirror is manually readjusted within the adjustment range, the switch will respond.

Its in the switch for sure. Both mirrors with the same problem at the same time. The only thing they really have in common is the switch.

Another suggestion, but since both of your mirrors are experiencing the same problem, this may not help:

Since the switch operates both mirrors, that may help.

Thanks for reminding me there is only one switch. It seems as one ages, reason doesn't always lead to a solution ..... two mirrors = two switches....... not in this case.

Hope you fix it.........
