Side Mirrors Not Working-where's The Fuse?

[us000011]

My wife's 2000 RX-300 side mirror control is dead- rather odd that neither one works- so what fuses can I check before the dealer hits me up for a new switch unit? Any other suggestions to fix it?

Problem: Both side mirrors do not adjust when using the control box.

Solution: replace the CIG fuse in most cases.

Below the side mirror control area you will see the little flip down box on the far left of the dash below the display and to the left of the steering wheel. If you flip open the latch, the compartment will open. Once it is open, you can pull up on the compartment and out and it should come completely out without too much trouble......don't worry, it is durable and difficult to break.

Once the compartment piece is out, you can look into the area behind it and see all the fuses.

Side mirror control porblems: Most can be solved by replacing the fuse which is listed as the CIG lighter fuse (***list is on the back of the compartment you removed). The CIG fuse should be on the left as you are looking at the fuses, second row down from top, far left I think.....blue 15 amp fuse. I replaced mine and found that the side mirror controls were back in order. I think the fuse is a 15 amp fuse. Use a pair of needle nose pliars to get the fuse out, or a fuse puller. Place the new fuse in. Turn the key on and see if that solves the problem....it should. Also check any and all other fuses while you are there with the key off. Replace the compartment back into opening in front of fuse area and you should be good to go.

I faced the same problem and found that "CIG" fuse was broken. I replaced it and both lighter and side mirrors now work fine.

All Fuses checked / replaced, switch replaced with one working in another car and still the outside mirrors don’t work. What am I missing?
