Thread: Power Mirrors

    Power Mirrors

    I think my ZHP is haunted. I was cleaning my garage and heard the mirrors start moving. Then, as I was driving down the road the mirrors started moving. I then noticed that I couldn't adjust them with the switch, it would go full deflection in whatever direction I tried to move them. I installed a new switch, but that didn't help; any suggestions?

    It may be the mirror memory module.

    When I shift into reverse my mirror gets stuck in the down position.

    I have heard its the memory module that is going bad.

    Maybe yours is the same.

    That might be because you have a key memory setting?

    I had an issue where my ribbon cables were messed up. Check your mirror cables and see if there is any damage somewhere.

    I had to purchase #5 as the ribbons are connected to the mirror motor.
