Power Mirrors

Has anybody had any problems with their power mirrors?

The fuse is good on my KJ, but the mirrors move just a little when trying to adjust them. I suspect maybe a bad switch.

Does anyone have any experience pulling the driver's door panel off to change the switch, or any trouble shooting tips?

Thanks for any inputs.

If they move,even if a little,then the switch is good.Most likely got some crud inside the housing and it's messing up the gears(they are plastic).

Thanks for the reply. I got the garden hose out and set it for a strong steady stream and shot the inside of the housing out. No change. There is a little initial movement, then nothing. Both mirrors are doing it.

I didn't see an easy way to remove the mirror from the housing to clean it out better. Any more suggestions???

I just pulled the door panel off and checked the switch. It's getting power. I'm still shaking my head that BOTH mirrors went bad at the same time.....

Hmmm, I thought I was the only one...I have had this problem for about 3 years. They move a little bit and then just stop. It is weird.....some days they work perfect and on most other days they do this lame thing. I just move hem by hand :cry:

You just descibed 'exactly' what my mirrors are doing. Both Beth and I drive her KJ, we are always adjusting the mirrors. Readjusting by hand is a pain, especially in the dark when she leaves for work at 0430. I ordered two new mirrors, we'll see what happens.

Thanks for your reply.

Did your new mirrors work?
I have been chasing the same issue for a while now.

I too have this exact same issue and I'm sure a lot of us have this problem but It's not like I move them on a daily basis.

My mirrors quit working for about a day and wouldn't do anything. They wouldn't move at all. Then one day they just started working normally. I didn't do anything to them. I have no idea what the problem was, but they're working again.
