Mirrors Broken!

P4VVS · May 27, 2003

Just made the circuit that Geoffers kindly provided us all with. I had to start the project then put it on hold for a while. Anyway i marked the wores that came from the wfootwell connector and the ones that went to the mirrors. To cut a long story short i accidentally taped the footwell connector wires together. When i went to test the mirrors, i heard a cliking sound and then the doors kept unlocking (i think!) when i realised, i changed everthing beck the right way and now i dont have any power to the mirrors, i checked the fuses and teh only one i couyld find was the one for the mirror heater, has a fuse nblown or have i blown a realy?. I really need anyones help, the car is out of warranty so i need to fix this myself.......thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear that mate...I'm sure someone here will pop up and help you

Yep. Fuse Blown. Can't remember which one (I'm pretty sure it's the acc.) and I'm on site so can't check until later. Has the radio gone dead? If so It's definately that.

Have a look at all the fuses anyway. If you have a meter, check with that as sometimes the break is hairline and you can't see it.

Yep, sounds like it's only a fuse.

Most cars, especially ours, are very well protected with fuses. I'd be very surprised if its terminal

Check the 10 amp (red) fuse in drivers kickwell, The row closest the door, second one up from the bottom. This is also the radio fuse.( if the radio doesn't work you know the fuse is blown).

Let us know how you get on....
