Default Side mirrors

Sometimes when I select and try to adjust the driver's side mirror, the passenger mirror moves instead. Then when I release the control knob, it will continue to move. Doesn't happen very often, and it happens both day and night. Rather annoying, I must say, not having control of one's mirrors. Bad switch? BCM? Or......




























Gremlins knawing away at my wiring again?

Skidmark, exact same thing happened to my '98 XK8. Replacement switch cured the problem. If I remember right I got it from the dealer for not too much money. Rev. Sams video removing the door panel will show you how to replace it. Jack

Hi Skidmark I think that has happened to me as well,but I thought I hadn't toggled the switch properly. I will monitor it more closely now.

Thanks Al Hope you sort yours out as pophen said probably the switch.
