Guessing probably the mirror switch in the dash, had same issue and replaced it.Anyone had the problem of the outside mirrors just stopped working? Unable to

If you're careful, the switch can be taken apart, cleaned and should work again if nothing is actually broken. Is it all directions for both mirrors? If the answer is yes then it's likely the main button for selecting which mirror to work with. On the off chance - did you check fuses?Anyone had the problem of the outside mirrors just stopped working? Unable to

Hey thanks for the quick response. The direction button works for both mirrors, but the switch moves both mirrors in one, or two directions. I probably could have taken the switch apart, if I thought about it like you obviously did, but I ordered one so I’m just hoping the install won’t be too difficult!If you're careful, the switch can be taken apart, cleaned and should work again if nothing is actually broken.

Yes, partial movement is the more typical problem. Remove/Replace isn't too bad. I've always had to loosen/remove the panel - never been able to just pop out the switch. The hood release and a screw/bolt in same area are a little difficult.Hey thanks for the quick response.

But thanks again!
