do the front and rear indicators flash, just not the wing mirror ones?

and - can you adjust the mirror? - ie might be a loose connector block.

and welcome aboard by the way !

I thought the lamps in the mirrors wer LEDs....

Smugger · 25th April 2007, 20:47

Thanks for responce
Yes to both questions mirrors retract and can be adjusted and both fornt and back indicators work.

Yep, I thought they were LEDs too!

I too believe they are (multiple) LEDs - which was why I was going down the route of checking electrics

However.
Whilst the manual doesn't specify which fuse covers the indicators (under bonnet fuse 22 is hazards), the fact that the front and rears work seems to rule out a blown fuse.

Working electrical mirrors also seems to rule out a loose connector block (though I guess it might just be hanging on in).

Which would - again seem - to indicate (sorry!) the bulb(s)

TTDegs wanders off to think some more...

How do i get the cover off to check bulbs/led's ???

Kremmen · 26th April 2007, 07:13

From memory isn't it a bank of 6 or 9 LED's ?

If so then it's likely a power issue rather than blown LEDs, unless they are wired in series.

Sounds like a dealer issue to me as it must be covered by warranty.

Hi Smugger, Recently had to change my passenger side mirror indicator due a another errent stone on the motorway smashing the lens

...it is a sealed led unit with 3 leds, cost is £45.10. It is possible that water from cleaning the car has got is also and got into the block connector mine had and the connectors pins were green instead of copper!!! getting to them can be a bit of a lottery, it is simple but if done wrong you can also break the mirror cover

which i was informed by the dealer.....decided to do it myself and was a 5 minute job.... first used a plastic knife to prise the underneath of the mirror cover off and then slowly work your way round the mirror to loosen it....then simply pull the whole cover forwards with a bit of 'jiggling' to help!! but please be careful as if too heavy handed the cover clips can break and this will result in a new cover being required also

. LED unit is secured with 3 hex screws. Easy job to be honest but most dealers will probably do the fitting for free if a new unit required. Hope this helps and good luck

This is where the service manual would come in handy

or failing that, a decent forum full of people who have "been there, done that"

Perhaps we could Martins post moved to the 'How to' section?

good call - done

Smugger · 26th April 2007, 09:25

Hi Thanks martin 051169 for info
as its still under warrenty i am not going to take a chance of breaking anything and i am taking it back to my dealer to-morrow.

Will post outcome especially if it's a possible commom problem.

Stef · 26th April 2007, 10:36

Here a picture of the italian manual
Strange that first they mention to remove the mirror glass,
But then on this picture the glass is still visible, so like Martin indicates, it seems possible to remove the cover without removing the glass.

TTDegs · 26th April 2007, 10:43

cheers Stef - I'll merge a copy of that into the How To too

Smugger · 28th April 2007, 06:59

Turns out that the indicator is faulty so it's under warrenty and have to wate untill they get one in.
Thanks everybody for your help.

TTDegs · 30th April 2007, 17:08

good news smugger!

(well, not good that it's bust, but good that they're fixing it

)

Yup, my nearside mirror indicator has failed. Oddly, it became intermittent before failing completely.

Replaced quickly without quibble by the dealer. Only a few finger marks to get off the mirror!
