My electric mirror adjustment isnt working on the right side. After some investigation i found there is a damaged wire going from the switch to the mirror motor. The mirror plug has 5 wires. The one i found to be damaged is the Purple wire with a Black trace. Has anyone ever had a similar problem? Is it more likely to be the plug in the door jam. Also is there an easier way to access the plug/loom in the foot well/door jam? It is incredibly difficult to get to.

i never had a skyline mirror apart but electric mirrors have 2 small electric motors one for in -out other for up-down .

u take the mirror off the car and take it apart then u'll see them they are very small . sometimes they have bad connection , check that spray some wd40 and test the motors on a 12 volt battery if they work then look for damaged wires .

any tips for the mirror removal

Mine's still convex. :uh-huh:

its not hard to remove look under the mirror it should have 2-3 bolts undo them and its out but u may have to undo the bolts inside the car as well not sure but take the little trim off on the inside and see there should be 2- 3 there as well .

You have to take the whole door trim off to get to the plug, that isnt difficult though.

has any of you guys solved this problem since last year?

My driver side had problem now... the up/down left/right adjustment is fine, but the mirror only wanna fold in with a click click and slight delay compared to the left one, and once it folds in it doesn't want to fold out anymore..

from those wire colours above, has anyone figure out which wire colour for which function?

the 2 black wires on the mirror make it fold in and out, it has its own plug that goes behind the door trim. There are another 5 wires that do something with the mirror, theres blue, purple, yellow, pink and orange. I have no idea what wires for what.

My stock mirrors both sides only move in 2 directions - down and left, it should go up down left and right.

I took the mirror off and sprayed the motor with WD40 stuff and it made no diff at all.

I wanted to hook up a new set of aftermarket mirrors but they only have 3 wires, so I hooked them up to the matching colour and the mirrors only moved up and down, I decided to join another wire up and see if it made a diff, it just blew a fuse.

Any idea on both my problems?????

ok i had exactly the same problem as you drivers side up down left right is fine just click click click and wont move in or out, im an electronics technician so i pulled it apart all the voltages were fine so its not an electrical prob i rang up just jap in syd and they the first thing to go on skylines is always drivers side electric window and electric mirrors. i couldnt find anything wrong so i just bought a new mirror and it goes fine. but if you dont care about the in out thing just leave it out.

Hey

Dont really know, only noticed it when I tryed to install aftermarket mirrors which I didnt end up doing as they didnt fit :)

When the mirrors are out the move only 2 directions, when I fold them in the move the other 2 directions but still only move in 2 directions. Also when they are out when I try to move the mirrors sometimes they move ok but sometimes the click when they are trying to move.

When you said it might be the switch, did you mean the whole door bit or just the mirror control that you pop out by itself???

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
