Solution
1. Preparation
  • Gather tools: OBD-II scanner, multimeter, socket set, screwdriver set.
  • Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
2. Inspect Fuse
  • Locate the fuse box (usually under the dashboard or in the engine compartment).
  • Check the specific fuse for the mirror adjustment; replace if blown.
  • Reconnect the battery and test the mirrors.
3. Replace Mirror Adjustment Switch
  • Remove the switch panel using a flathead screwdriver carefully to avoid damage.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the switch.
  • Install the new switch by connecting the harness and securing it in place.
  • Reinstall the switch panel.
4. Inspect and Repair Wiring
  • Remove door panel (using socket set and screwdriver) to access the wiring harness.
  • Inspect for frayed or damaged wires, and repair as necessary using solder and heat shrink tubing.
  • Ensure all connections are secure and free of corrosion.
5. Test Mirror Adjustment Mechanism
  • If the mirrors still do not adjust, remove the mirror assembly from the door (usually involves unscrewing bolts).
  • Inspect the internal adjustment motor for damage; replace if faulty.
  • Reinstall the mirror assembly and reconnect the wiring harness.
