Hi all.

A recent purchase of a 2009 AM DB9 15k miles was going well until yesterday; the wing mirror adjustment stopped working - no warning, it was perfect one minute and then the following day it just didn't work

If I press either left or right switch to select the mirror neither switch illuminates and neither is adjustable - won't move at all. Also, I discovered if I press both left and right at the same time then the left button illuminates but still won't adjust.

Is this a common symptom/failure? I'm pretty tool handy and would like to try and fix it before taking it to AM and taking a bath. Plus I like fixing stuff myself; Just thought if anyone can shed any light or suggest certain things to check. No error messages or warning triangle and everything else is fine.

Any tips greatly appreciated

Thanks smile

Well, I pulled fuse no 83 and this reset the drivers door module - works fine.

Yeah and all the other 'recommendations' it doesn't need but they try to convince you anyway

It's fine now. I managed to let the battery drain and I assume that caused the problem - works a treat now after the module reset.

Thanks for the future info though smile

No problem - glad it was a cheap fix like mine was!
