Advice on Cerbera door electrics

[leszekg]

It sounds like the time for electrical problems judging by some of the current topics. My 98 Cerbera seems to be joining the ranks in sympathy.

The exterior door switch on the passenger side mirror seems to have stopped working. The interior switch (as well as the manual door pull) work ok so I'm assuming the problem has nothing to do with the control box or fuses. It looks like a problem with either the mirror switch assembly itself or a connection to it. I haven't had a chance to investigate this but I'm guessing it's going to be fiddly. Has anyone experienced this before? If so, I'd welcome any advice on how to get to the switch and any possible connections which may be culprits.

Did you sort this problem? Mine is doing the same

Yes, it was just some loose wiring behind the door in the end.

Ours is doing the same, only intermittently, any tips on how to progress?

Take the inside door panel off (by taking the hex screws off around the outside of the panel). You need to support the panel as you do this otherwise it will drop to the floor. There is a connector block behind the panel which you need to disconnect before pulling back the panel too far so as not to yank out the wires. Once you've done that most of the wires are (just about) reachable for checking.
