Hi

I seem to be getting an occasional problem with the heated mirrow rear window swtich - I've looked in the FAQ and can't see anything there...
The switch keeps on turning itself off after a couple of seconds and then won't work again for a good dozen presses. I can feel and hear the switch click off when this happens. The fuse is fine (well it is now it's the right one in there and not a 10 amp one!).

Many thanks

Hello David,
Thanks for your message. Hope you get sorted. (KYLE 123 James)

Hello,
Sounds as if the switch is faulty. I believe they have a timer in them that turns the switch off after 10 minutes, and yours is cutting off too soon. Dont know why it would work properly sometimes. Hope this helps Kyle123 (James)

Thanks very much for your help James, there's one on Ebay at the moment for £4 so I'll give it a try.

Cheers

David

1986 and earlier switches are for the lower wattage rear window elements. Be sure you get the 1987+ switch. I can get you a part number if you need.
