My mirrors have stopped working! The LED's don't light up either when the lights are on.

Could this be a fuse? Anyone know the layout of the fuses if yes?

Where's the control ECU if it's that?

Any help will be appreciated

Mine's done this aswell. It doesn't appear to be a fuse (not sure which fuse it's on tbh) so I got a replacement ECU off Ebay but it made no difference so I'm a bit stumped?

FYI the mirror ECU is behind an access panel on the right hand side of the driver's footwell. It's in there along with the engine ECU and a couple of other 'black boxes' and is a bit of a faff to get all back in.

Have you checked the connector behind the door card? There is also a bulkhead connector between the door which you could buzz out. It might be worth looking at before tackling the job of getting those mirror ECU's out and the nightmare of putting them back! mad

Thanks for the link.

The mirror fuse is also described as speed sens as well... any idea what that is?? If I knew what that was I could easily work out if the fuse is gone as 2 things would have failed to work.

Cheers

Hi
I had the mirror fuse blow (10 amp) and it knocks out both speedos (digital and analogue) so if these are still working it is gonna be something other than the fuse.

Defo not the fuse as I still have both Speedo's.

Thanks for the heads-up... Will start looking into the door connections and ECU... Think I have a spare ECU
