xk8 side mirrors inop - switch or motor or ?????
Working on my new project - side mirror on drivers side only moves inward. Side mirror on passengers moves outward and upward only. Should I be thinking switch or motor? The joystick is in a module with the window controls - can it be replaced separately or is it all one piece?

I cleaned my switch a few years ago, Jamdmyers correct be very careful taking it apart and remember where the parts go. I used 1500 grit paper on the contacts, and greased them with dielectric grease. I end up doing this three times in a row cleaning the contacts, re-assembling and testing it before it finally started working correctly. But it's been a few years and it works fine. I make a point of using the switch a few times a year to keep it working.

Was going to suggest the same as the other two guys, the switch pack does get dirty contacts so if the moter is working one way it will work the other it just needs the feed from switch, but as others say watch out for the little pieces trying to escape when you open it up, contact cleaner from maplin is ok
good luck
