Sideview Mirror dead.. pls help !
Hi All, my 2004 RX330 which was produced in Japan having issue with both side view mirrors. The passenger side can't adjust at all with the inside mirror adjust switch, also will not tilt down when reverse. The Driver side can only adjust side way, but not up/down. I can hear a click sound when I press the adjust switch.
I am looking for the part number of the mirror drive motor... also, anybody aware if I can just replace those small motor inside that assembly ? Also, any suggestion on diagnose this problem...
Things I had performed so far :
- Remove the top mirror and lubricate all moving parts..
- Tested the mirror motor assembly without the mirror and it's not moving with press of the adjustment switch.
- removed the cover of the mirror motor assembly, also the gear. So just the small motor. and they turn OK with the press of the switch. As I am working alone, so have no chance to test the motor to see if it will stop if I apply any resistance force with my finger....
- I checked Lexus Canada, the cost for a Mirror assembly will be $650.. (heated, memory, auto dim, Blue color).. The cost for a motor assembly is around $180... which consider only come with two small motor,, way too expensive...
Any information or suggestion is Welcome !
