Side Mirror Switch Broken?

[bgladd]

My side mirrors on my ‘13 LC aren’t working, and I think because this switch doesn’t depress all the way. Anyone have this issue?

Can I just pop the trim around it?

By not working, do you mean won’t adjust? And by doesn’t depress.. all four directions or just one?

The mirrors don’t work at all—in any direction.

Merry christmas. The panel comes out, but I've always had to remove the lower panel (two philips screws, two m8 (?) bolts), unplug light and Tpms reset button if applicable, pop out the airbag surround panel, pop out the panel surrounding that switch.

You're working around airbags, so I always disconnect the battery ground for 15 minutes in advance of doing that work (to not inadvertently set off the airbag).

I'd check the fuse first before doing all that though.

Things like this is why I love reading this forum. I don't have this mirror issue but someday I will be moving/adding switches. I would have never thought to disconnect the battery to disable air bags. Good precaution. Really, any time you are messing with anything that has wires, disconnecting the negative battery terminal is probably a good idea.
