Mirror Switch

[efc4ever]

Can anyone help, my mirror switch has stopped working on the l/h/s it started to fail then would work again, after a few months now its stopped all together, the mirror on the right side still works, I phoned Lexus but they want £70 plus vat for the switch, anyone know where to get one from?

Don't buy anything until you have proved the fault is the switch and not something in the mirror-assembly (jammed gearing or poor connection to motor etc.)

This is interesting, I have experienced almost exactly the same today. My passenger side mirror has been a little erratic lately, I first noticed that the tilt mechanism wasn't working on that side when I engaged reverse gear, and then it would work, and then it wouldn't again. It has now stopped working altogether today. When I use the button to adjust the mirror I find that the 'left and right' movements work but not the 'up and down' movement. So same question really, has anyone else experienced this?

Mine does exactly the same. No tilt on passenger side. Pretty sure its the gears in the mirror assembly. I have read somewhere that this is a known fault.

For what it is worth, I have found that the wrecking yards (do you call them the same thing in the UK?) are a GREAT resource for issues like this and would strongly recommend that avenue for your trouble shooting.

During the development of installation manuals for the Po-40 Folding Mirror Kit, I found there was a ready and (comparatively) cheap availability of mirror assemblies and mirror switch assemblies. I paid about 100 pounds for the complete mirror and windows switch assembly (and associated harness) off the 2010 IS250.

FYI: We have discovered four different wiring processes for the mirror functions for the IS200d/IS250 range. We could not have mapped our installation processes for the Folding Mirror Switch without the wreck parts.

Here in Sydey (Australia) there are a few wreckers that specialise euther in Lexus or in premium cars. I'm sure local board members would be able to direct you to similar establishments in the UK and Europe.

I'm sure its the switch due to when I go from right to left the switch is loose and there is no click, it all started when I would tilt the left mirror down to see into my garage, the car does not have the auto reverse tilt on it, when I would bring the car out the mirror would not come back up but would move left and right, after a few attemps it would work but it got worse and worse to were now it doesn't work at all, I tried to take the switch apart but only got so far in fear of braking it, I phoned Lexus up but they want £67 plus vat

nice one thanks for that, we call the a scrap yard, not sure there are many over here that would have Lexus is in for braking but I will have a look around.

well i don't believe it my mirror has come back to life, you was so right, i sprayed a load of ac 90 behind the mirror due to not knowing how to take it apart and now everything works great, moves in all directions, thanks for that.
