broken power mirrors?

[skyskijason]

Power mirrors not working right? Its probably just the switch on door panel. New switch costs about $16 at powerstrokeshop.com and takes about 30 seconds to swap out. Many people assume the motors are bad or something...

Cheers!

Jason, I take it you had one die on you?

[skyskijason]

Yep. Since then I have 'fixed' several more for people who also thought something more expensive was wrong. They must fail pretty often...

Every time I crack the window a bit, if it's precipitating, it drops right on that dang switch along with the window switches! Vent shades maybe?

Vent shades maybe?

I can't live without them!!

Not to hijack but does that have anything to do with the turn signal in the mirror not working as well?

[skyskijason]

hehehe, not to ignore your question (I just didn't see it!!)....

I doubt it, this lil switch just controls the mirror adjustment. None of my junk is fancy enough to have lites on the mirrors - lol, so I can't help much!

Thats a GREAT question for the PSD gurus at www.ford-trucks.com - just scroll down to the appropriate section (7.3 or 6.0 or Excursion, Van, etc). There are 10's of 1000's of members there - its almost a sure bet one of them knows whats wrong!!

My switch failed last year, i took it out, cleaned the contacts and it works like new again.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. May have to pick up some vent shades as well.
