Warning signs the Red Side/Door Mirror with Turn Signal is failing:
- The turn signal light on the mirror doesn't blink when you use your turn signal.
- The mirror doesn't adjust properly when you use the power mirror controls.
- The mirror glass is cracked or broken.
- The mirror housing is damaged.
- The mirror vibrates excessively while driving.
- The mirror is loose or detached from the door.
How to test if this part is the problem:
- Check the turn signal bulb: Make sure the bulb inside the mirror's turn signal is not burned out. Replace it if needed.
- Inspect the wiring: Look for any damaged or disconnected wires going to the mirror.
- Test the power mirror controls: Try adjusting the mirror using the controls inside the car. If the mirror doesn't move, there may be a problem with the controls or the wiring.
- Visually inspect the mirror: Look for any cracks, breaks, or other damage to the mirror glass or housing.
- Compare to the other side: If one mirror works and the other doesn't, it's likely the problem is with the faulty mirror assembly.
Common failure causes for this part:
- Impact damage from accidents or collisions.
- Weather damage, such as sun exposure or freezing temperatures.
- Electrical problems, such as short circuits or blown fuses.
- Normal wear and tear over time.
- Vibration causing components to loosen.
