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.

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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My wing mirror switch is quite frankly 'mirrored' and works in opposite i.e, left=right and up=down. Even the rocker to select driver/passenger mirror is opposite. Anyone else come across this and how do I fix it? EDIT: just had a thought. Is it possible to fit the switch upside down? I am not with the car so cant check.

POST 2Original post

The edit beat my reply, which is, it must be fitted upside down!

POST 3Original post

it can't have just suddenly started doing this, so either you've recently acquired or had some work done on it, and if the latter return and explain the prob.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

POST 5Original post

Should be this way up, and it looks like it would fit upside-down:

POST 6Original post

When I return to my 2002, 996 Turbo after parking up, the near-side mirror is always fully looking down to the ground. No matter how many times I adjust it and enter the position into the memory it always does the same. Being doing this since I got it 4yrs ago. Could it be a similar issue? Any ideas how to remedy this?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ah yes i remember my rocker switch is on top [ ] well at least its a simple free fix.
