Hi All,


Have a problem with the interior electrochromatic mirror(s) not working. When you turn them on the green light is lit, turn them off and a red light used to light up indicating it was off. The red light doesn't come on anymore?


My question is could it be a wiring fault somewhere in the harness?




Any help greatly appreciated.


Thanks


Andrew

 

Electrochromatic mirrors can leak and not work:
had it on a car before not sure but think it was an older model S type.

I might still have the replacement kicking around in garage never got round to fitting it.

You could see the liquid collecting along bottom edge on the knackered one.

But it could be wiring?

 

Welcome to the forum Andrew, please post an intro when you can in the new members section.

It would help if you gave us your vehicle details, year model etc.

 

I've posted in the new members section just now oops

 

Thank you for the reply joe, the mirror is intact no leaking fluid. the green light is on in auto mode, turn it off but the red light doesn't show anymore? looks like the headliner has to be dropped to get to the wiring oh the joys

 

Just a small comment. On the Lincoln LS boards the fluid that leaks out of these mirrors is called "Dragon's Blood" because it is VERY damaging to anything it drips on.

So if you see bubbles or odd optical things in the mirror keep a sharp eye out and if it starts to leak. Pull it out or wrap a rag around it so your console does not get ruined.

Thought l would phone the main dealer parts dept for a quote on a replacement interior mirror and both door mirror glasses £984 ouch

 

Are the door mirrors not working either?

 

Hi Norrie,


Yes the door mirrors are not working as well.

If all three aren't working then it deffo seems like an electrical issue.

I tried mine on way home from work yesterday but couldnt get a red light no matter what buttons I presssed and handbook doesn't mention led colour?

 

I don't get a red light. Mine work OK. (Maybe my red light is broken?)

 

mine has no red light only a green one when turned on , and off has no light
mine defiantly works when on .

 

I expect scrap yards (wreckers) have spares.
