Subject: mirror motors by vette079 on 2011/6/13 19:11:08 Hi there, did anyone ever open up the motor housing of a side mirror? Mine stopped working on the left side, and I have checked the TS list in the supplementary FSM. I came to the point where it says; change out motor assembly of the mirror. Well, I guess if that one is broken, I could just as well open it up to see what´s in there. Two motors with gears, and each motor has its capacitor/resistor of some kind, rated at 10K, I guess ohms and 100 volt. Now when I apply direct battery power to either of them, they work... hmmm. Something I missed, or? Logic tells me now, there must be an open somewhere, I didn´t find it though. If it isn´t an open somewhere, then it must be one of those caps/rests. Funny only that both up/down and side movement stopped. That would mean both caps/rests went out at the same time. Thank you very much if someone can shed some light on this one. I posted on another forum as well, but never got a response. BTW, it´s a 91, and both left and right mirror heaters work. |
