I've taken car to the dealer at least three times for this problem. It's in today for the fourth time and this time I actually had the service advisor see what it's been doing upon pushing unlock. I lock the door and when I unlock it the passenger mirror moves all the way in or all the way out. I could never get it to do it at the dealer until today. I wanted to know if anyone has had this problem. I've tried to reset the memory and use the second fob. Car is a 03 V8 S-Type

 

I've had the same issue with the passenger mirror acting up as well, but mine occasionally happens when I push the seat recall button. When I push the button the seat goes to its normal position and sometimes but not always the passenger mirror goes all the way out. I will fix the mirror then reprogram the seat reset and then will have no issues for a while then it pops back up again.

 

Mine will do the same thing sometimes when I use the memory button. I just wonder why it only does it on the passenger side and if the mirror needs to be replaced. I was talking to the tech at the Jaguar dealer and of course he couldn't get it to do it again, but at least the service advisor knows I'm not crazy.

 

Well it's back and the dealer has reset everything and it still does it. Does anyone have any idea of what could be the issue. To add more info on this issue, when the mirror moves all the way in or out and you push the memory button "1" it uses it's last position as the memory and stays all the way out or in. My warranty is out in another 2,000 miles and if something needs to be replaced I would like to have the warranty cover it.

 

have they chnged the passenger door control module yet? its the one mounted inside the door panel

 

No, they haven't replaced anything yet. I have an appointment Tuesday morning and before I go in there I wanted to get a little more info from people that may have had this experience.

 

Well, I've decided to waste more of my time and money to figure out WHY this mirror keeps moving and it's @ the dealership right now and I'm waiting on the results. I'll post my findings and the fix.

 

Update on Mirror:
Received car back today and they replaced the passenger mirror motor. I was told by the service tech that the mirror motor has a memory inside of it and the reason it was going all the way in or out was because it was searching for it's memory position. I'll find out if its fixed in the next couple of days.

 

i tole ju man, but ju dunt leezen

 

I know, I know, and I told the Tech that Brutal said replace it and they FINALLY listen to me once I mentioned your name.

 

Lol youre so full of it

 

Well, yesterday after getting off work I unlocked the door and stood there and watched the mirror move to the "all the way in" position. In other words it's doing the same thing as before and the motor didn't fix it.

My question is does anyone know of anything other then the motor that could cause such a problem and I know that the dealer didn't reset everything after installing the motor, so would that resolve the issue?

Brutal you have a pm

 

Hi everyone,

I have same problem here with my jag xjr 1998 after battery recharged.
Both of the mirror passenger and driver door moves all the way down every time door locked.. Please help..

Thanks

 

The cars are very different (although it's POSSIBLE in this regard they are the same) - you'd likely be better asking this in the appropriate forum.

 

I apologize for not coming back to this thread and posting the FIX for my issue. The dealer found voltage on one of the wires going to the mirror and finally rewired the mirror. It took them two days to recreate the problem and two days to fix it. I have not had any issues with the mirror since they rewired it.

 

Hi all,

THanks for the update... Here is what i did solved the mirror problem
1- adjust both of the mirrors in its position you wanted. Do NOT lock the door!
2- disconnect bettery ground wire for 2-3min
3- reconnect bettery ground wire
4- insert master key and programed it by turn clock/counterwise 2-3 times you will see all the windows moves down/up
5- use remote keyless press lock/unlock 4-5 times problem solved

Actually this procedure I've learned from Land Rover Technician who taught me how to programed remote keyless entry from my 1999 Range Rover 4.6HSE.

(Note: this procedure works on my case and hopping helps other as well?

 

Please, give a little more details on step #4. Are you saying you turned the key over as if you were going to start the car?

Thanks,
Michael

 

Sorry about that...

Step 4- insert master key at driver door NOT ignition... turns key clock/counterwise 3-4 times...
I hope it helps....
