Thanks for replying and showing interest in my posting I tried looking for part but I couldnt find it any where listed for sale. Do you know the part number for the switch which I can use to search on web. I also looked at the switch (the small square button) on the dashboard and it looks like it it integrated with the other button which adjusts both mirror. It may be separate. How did you remove and replace the button/switch?

I think changing the switch will solve the problem as you've suggested. How much did it cost you to replace the switch? Where can I look for this switch for purchase? Thanks

Did your mirror folds sometime just like mine. I could hear the the sound. I feel that the problem is mechanical instead of electronic. but you may be right. When the mirror does not fold, and then if I open and fold manually a couple of time then the power fold start function again How much did it cost you to fix this issue? Bye

Good day to all, My brother in law is looking to buy a land cruiser and he ask me to help him chose since I also own lx470. I dont know which option will be better so I am posting here. He found 2 vehicles 1. 1998 Land cruiser with 124k miles(100 series same as 2000 lx470) exterior white and interior gray(I personally like beige color, to me beige color is more refreshing to look at vs gray). price 10500 2. 2000 Lx470 exterior green interior beige. price 16500,miles 80k All the major maintenance has been done on both vehicles. (major maintenance done on both, timing belt, drive, water pumps, brakes and rotors, new tires) Land cruiser good: $6000 less Lx470 good: 2 years newer and 44k miles less (lexus vs toyota but I think this is debatable since land cruiser and lx470 are pretty much the same and holds the value similarly for used models), bad 6000$ more. Do you recommend paying extra 6000 to get lx470 or he should instead buy a land cruiser? Fahad

I own a year 1999 Lx470 and I have this above problem for quite some time. The issue is (though I consider it as minor), that the passenger side side mirror does not fold when I press the power button on everytime I press it. By this mean, it folds sometimes,mostly it does not. Do you think the motor or some other component in the mirror assembly is dying and needs replacement. or can it be fixed some other ways without having to buy the components. Thanks
