Left (passenger) electric mirror

Post by **Jos360** » 11 Sep 2008 04:54 pm

For my 360 i am looking for a passenger side electric mirror, on the left side of the car. My (Dutch) driver-side mirror broke down, so i have to have a new one.

What exactly is wrong with your mirror, Jos?

Well, it is broken

I don't know, but it is not for sale, i might have some purpose for it.

Does it move at all when you operate the controls? Or is there no movement at all? There may just be a broken wire or corroded earth.

I once had a problem with one of my electric mirrors, the parts guy at Volvo sold me a used V40 mirror motor saying several bits inside such as the motors themselves and the runners could be swapped over, even though the housing is different.

I never tried it though and ended up replacing the whole mirror unit. So I have a V40 motor spare if you want to give it a go

But check all the connections first, as John says ...

Remember LHD and RHD mirrors are different due to the different adjusting angles.

Here's the pic I was on about in my PM.

Left: 360 Right: V40

You'd need a steady hand to fix that though, don't think my sausage-fingers would be much good

Thanks, that looks similar enough to give it a try. I will look at scrapyards around here to find one!

Also don't rule out the switch itself, if the right hand mirror works perfectly just swap the connectors over on the switches to confirm it's not that. Could save some time and money!

On my mirror it was broken plastic runners which prevented the mirror moving. The motors themselves were fine ...
