This has been since I got it and so I assumed the previous owner probably put the cable in wrong to the mirror I have since replaced the mirror and the passenger door wiring harness from an exact 2002 996 Turbo with bose but the issue is still the same.my next thought would be that the connector point in the door jam could be off on the fender side but this seems ia stretch assumption so I was wondering if there is another connection that could be plugged in wrong on the loom going to the drivers door where the control is.

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

Thanks in advance for reading this and any input would be great. My 2002 996 Turbo passenger mirror electronic adjustment is off by 90 degrees i.e push down and it tilts left push left and it tilts up. This has been since I got it and so I assumed the previous owner probably put the cable in wrong to the mirror I have since replaced the mirror and the passenger door wiring harness from an exact 2002 996 Turbo with bose but the issue is still the same.my next thought would be that the connector point in the door jam could be off on the fender side but this seems ia stretch assumption so I was wondering if there is another connection that could be plugged in wrong on the loom going to the drivers door where the control is. I did check the control connection and that doesnt seem that its possible to have wired that wrong for it.

Same thing happened to me after a shop changed my window regulator. I came to find they installed the actual switch where you adjust the mirror upside down. Try flipping it and checking. Hopefully that is your issue.
