2009 V8 Vantage - the control switches for my door mirrors are reversed - "L" controls the right mirror and "R" controls the left mirror.

Is this a matter of someone having plugged the connector into the switch 180 degrees off? Usually design restrictions would prevent such a thing, but maybe in this case . . . ? It also appears that the mirror movements in "R" reverse would be suited to the opposite mirror as well. Or perhaps a module was installed improperly?

Has anyone else experienced this or have suggestions to remedy the situation. I haven't taken the door apart yet to check the connector. Thanks!

Handbuilt car, Sir.

Just a quirk. If it works I'd leave it be

Thanks for the response. That's probably good advice, though I have a hard time leaving things alone that aren't functioning properly.

I did take the door apart this morning and see that there's no way the plug could be reversed. My drivers window also will not reset to drop when opening the door, and the top is not working, so it may be some central ($$$) module somewhere. It's going to the dealer for service tomorrow, and we'll see what the result is.

FYI - it turns out the mirror switch problem, left switch working right mirror and vv., was a symptom of bad door modules. If I buy another Aston Martin at some point in the future I certainly will not assume that a mirror switch problem will be relatively simple or inexpensive to fix!
