Is there a fuse for the led blinker for passenger side side-view mirror? Mine no longer flashes and I can’t seem to find a fuse for it.

Year = ‘04
 
This is the driver’s side

Has the passenger side ever worked? Did the PO possibly replace the passenger side with one without the lights? Can you see the 5 spots in the mirror where the lights are located?
 
I really don't known if these have a fuse. But if they do. Not likely one for each side, unless inline rather than fuse box.

If your dash flasher indicator light, is blinking fast. That indicates a fault, likely a bulb out. Make sure front and rear PS flashers are working properly.

Yes the passenger side used to work. And started working intermittently and has not worked this past year

Blinkers and flashers work fine

Neither of your door mirrors glasses are from Toyota, as Toyota never made mirrors with repeaters in them for the 100 or LX470, they are probably cheap Chinese knock offs and thats why ones packed up, with regard to wiring and fuses, as stated before, I doubt if there are any separate fuses, as they have got to be wired from the existing indicator/blinker circuits by the previous owner.

I believe this was one of those dealer-installed options -- understand it's not OEM, but I wouldn't jump at "cheap Chinese knock off." I also have this same config on my new-to-me 2006 LC.

When I was re-wiring my speakers, I saw the turn indicator wiring. I don't recall if there was an in-line fuse, sorry.

Would recommend removing the door card and investigating there.
 
I will be pulling my door panel off to fix the lock actuator next weekend and can take some pictures when I have it off. Had it off yesterday but didn’t think about it.
 
Here are the installation instructions that comes with those mirrors. Maybe you can use them to make sure everything looks correct.
I see Muth is an American company since 1947 (hats off to Muth) and sell the kit, but it would be intersting to know where the LED mirrors are actually manufactured, sadly you don't see 'Made in America' or 'Made in England' stamped on many thing anymore.

Good Luck.
 
This is stamped at the bottom

If they are 'Made in America' then as I say 'Hats off to Muth' I'm not saying they are not made in America, but 'R USA' only means it's a Registered American company, LED's are supposed to last thousands of hours, thats why I used the phrase 'Cheap Chinese Knock offs'

Component parts can be sourced from all over the world in this global market, then the kit can be assembled in what ever country sells the kit.

For example, what more of an American company can you get than Harley Davidson, I can tell you, there are parts on a Harley and fitted by Harley that are made in China, I know, I have four Harley's.

Anyway, looks like just a replacment mirror is available from Muth, so no need to hunt for a fuse, just replace the mirror.

This was a dealer or port installed option.


I had the same issue on an 2004 LC. It was on the driver side that was not working. It turned out the way ran the wires and the type of wires they used they tend to break.

Pull the door panel off and run new wires from right outside the mirror to the side kick panel.

I did it three years ago and no problem since.
