higherground Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Right hand side mirror swings to the front and stops. I can return it to the proper position, but upon restart it swings out completely to the front of the car. Fix?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj8708 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Welcome to the Club. Fix is probably a new motor or controler. May be able to get the needed part on ebay or online salvage yard. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billydpowell Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I dont completely follow you, take a photo of it, "completely to the front of the car.". and I will rack my brain to see if we can help.. I have 2 99's, but I cant "see" that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landar Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 So can you put the switch in the completely stowed (all the way back position) then physically move the mirror to the back position and retry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 99's, but I cant "see" that Billy: My profile is wrong. I guess I did not update correctly. I sold my '99 and bought a 04 LS430. Sorry I led you to believe it is on a '99. However it is a nagging problem. Any help would be appreciated. You are communicating with a brother ><>.

steve2006 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Apparently there is a known problem with the LS430 mirrors in that the limit switches fail ( these stop the motor when the mirror is either in the fully out position/driving position or when it is folded in). These are not available as a spare part, the whole mirror needs replacing. If you don't need to fold your mirrors disconnecting the motor drive wire would be the cheapest option.
