Took a close look at the new part and it doesn't seem that the part / back panel can be disassembled / detached from the mirror glass. Argh. 😞
-
Reason why a new mirror is needed is not because the glass is broken, but because the clips at the rear backing are broken, as circled. Instead of ordering the Lexus part; can someone please assist with how I can disassemble the mirror, removing the glass from the backing, so I can use the old mirror with the new backing? Argh; I hope this may be possible! $200 extra for the Lexus part is awfully painful. T hank you!

Hello everyone, Hope all is well. I have a 2004 LX 470; need the passenger side mirror glass. Can someone please help me with what the correct Part Number is? Is the Part #: 87931-60850? So to purchase OEM parts at better pricing, I’ve been using the VIN of a 2007 Land Cruiser; By doing so, I came up with Part #: 87931-60801, which I ordered. Upon part arrival, however, I see that the connection / plug is different, as shown by the photos attached. Can you please help me figure out the equivalent Toyota Part # to my mirror? Hope I don’t need the Lexus part, as the price difference is shocking. And any idea what might be the difference in features between the two Part #’s above? Any recommended online parts stores would be welcome as well. Thank you very much. My best.

Vgrs/vsc Trac/vsc Off Lights Are On. No Codes. What Do I Do?
dbs600 replied to DaveN's topic in 98 - 07 Lexus LX470
Hello again everyone, Hope all is well. So I replaced the passenger side-view mirror motor, but the problem remains! The top row, most forward (to the front of the truck) red fuse “10” blows. After I replace the motor, I kept the switch in the center / neutral position and did not try to have the mirrors auto-dip while in reverse, but when I went to electrically adjust the front driver’s side-view mirror, the fuse blew and the slew of dashboard warning lights lit. I thought the problem was emanating from the front passenger mirror, as its auto-dip functionality was not working smoothly in recent time, as it’d skip / hop, shutter on its way down. Nevertheless, I guess this has been narrowed down to the mirror(s) being the problem. What am I to do at this time? Can someone please assist and tell me if this means I should replace the driver’s side-view mirror motor now, or can is be something else altogether? I’d rather not buy the driver’s side-view mirror, only for the problem to remain. Argh. :( Please advise at your earliest. Thank you very much. My best. -

Thank you for the heads up on the TSB. I've seen it, but it's not what I was having difficulty with. Thank you though! -

I replaced the fuse again and made sure the mirror switch was in the center / neutral position. The instrument cluster lights cleared and the door locks work again now. Since these items work after stopping the mirrors from dipping automatically, I think I’ve narrowed it down to the mirror dip as the cause of the fuse blowing. Can someone please assist from here; what should I do next? If the mirror motor is the problem, how can I replace same myself? Any good instructions / videos to do so? Thank you again. -

What a pain it was to access the passenger side foot well fuse box! Was also difficult to pull the fuse as well. Argh. Nevertheless, the fuse was blown. I replaced the blown fuse, truck started up properly, but shortly after starting… Lights on cluster resurface, mirrors stopped while dipping, auto door locks stopped working. Can someone please advise how I can figure out what the culprit is that’s blowing the fuse? How am I to trace this back to the source of the problem? Any / all help would be greatly appreciated. My best. -

Hello everyone, Long time; hope all is well with you and yours. Kindly review the photo attached. When I started my truck today, the error lights lit. The instrument cluster gauges also shuttered / twitched a bit, then went steady; never saw this before! Furthermore, the passenger side view mirror wouldn’t dip down in reverse. AND… upon coming to a stop, shutting down and looking truck from the outside, all doors wouldn’t lock! I had to lock each door individually (note, however, that the power door lock button works if the truck is turned on!). Been raining a lot; hopefully not related to the problem? :( Can someone please help me figure this out. Thank you very much. My best. -

I received the parts today and unfortunately, the hydraulic lines are black and hose like (actually 50% flexible, 50% rigid). When the indy threw my car upon the lift, what he pointed out to me was silver / metallic and larger in diameter, and seems completely rigid. Is there is difference between the air suspension hydraulic lines on a 2004 LX and a 2006/7 LC? Can someone please shed some light on this? Can really use some help here.
