The drivers side wing mirror motor stopped working a few years back so thought i was time to investigate ..

There are two lives on the connector block just before the motor ,one black one red ,they show 12volts when i use the switch so i think its the motor ..

noticed a relay in the door ,tried a couple of new ones but they mysteroiusly kept blowing the fuse so had put the original one back..

Are there any motors available and is it much of a job ?

Gave up on that job ,I have one red one black and one green ,black and red have 12v if i put the - to earth or the green cable .

The other side works fine and there are live feeds just before the wire goes to the mirror.

Think its more trouble than its worth my arms are in a right mess .
