Is your Hyundai Veloster's passenger side mirror acting up? Here's how to tell if it's failing and what might be the cause.
Warning signs your power side mirror is failing:
- The mirror doesn't adjust properly (or at all).
- The mirror motor makes a grinding or clicking noise.
- The mirror shakes or vibrates excessively.
- The mirror housing is cracked or damaged.
- The heated mirror function (if equipped) doesn't work.
- The turn signal in the mirror (if equipped) doesn't light up.
How to test if this part is the problem:
- Check the fuses related to the power mirrors. A blown fuse is a simple fix.
- Listen for motor noise when you try to adjust the mirror. No noise suggests a motor issue.
- Visually inspect the mirror and housing for damage.
- Use a multimeter to check for power at the mirror connector. If there's no power, the problem could be wiring or a switch.
Common failure causes:
- Motor failure due to age or overuse.
- Impact damage from accidents or road debris.
- Corrosion in the electrical connections.
- Faulty wiring or switches.
- Normal wear and tear.
