Just bought FTO! Mirror problem, please help!

[dec1984]

Hi everyone, i'm new to this forum but it seems to be a great resource. I would apprecieate any help with my folding mirror problem. The problem is, they don't fold electronically at all, all i hear is a faint click when i push the switch. I did find an online guide with how to remove the mirror and re-attach the connections inside the mirror that control the folding capability. My problem is that upon removing the mirrors from the door, i found that there is no connector block to detach the mirror from the wires exiting the door pocket, the wires are permanently connected into the mirror with insulation tape around the connectors. However, the 2 brown wires do not enter the mirror at all, they were just loose inside the door, i can pull them out just about but then there are no brown wires coming out of the mirror to join them to. Does anyone know if it's feasible to put 2 new brown wires into the mirror (and where they would connect to) so i could then join them to the ones that were loose inside the door? I hope that's not too wordy and that i am making sense. Great forum! Dec.

Far as I remember, the connector block is inside the door anyway.

From the pics i have seen, the base of the mirror should have a connector block fixed into it, which mine doesn't, the cables just come from the door straight through into the mirror.

That's right. There should be a connector block, but that doesn't really matter as long as all the wires are properly connected. Where are you based and what colour is your fto?

Hi, I'm in Manchester, not Ireland unfortunately. My fto is black.

Did you get this problem sorted?
