Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
If neither mirror adjusts and you have 12v+ at the mirror adjust switch probably the switch.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys. I noticed that the electric adjustment of my side mirrors doesn't work. I don't think it's a fuse issue 'cause the back up lights work (same fuse according to the diagram). Any ideas... ?

POST 2Original post

Looks to be simple circuit. If neither mirror adjusts and you have 12v+ at the mirror adjust switch probably the switch.

POST 3Original post

Had the same issue on my 2001 turbo got a replacement switch on EBay, Porsche wanted almost $200 for the switch and eBay had it for $20 dollars. Worked like a charm.
