I tried to do a search but i could not find any step by step instructions for it. I also tried to bump a thread which the OP asked the same question but there was no help in there.

Thanks a lot!

 

Nobody???.......

 

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the center console.

Refer to Page 23-173.
3. Release the retaining clip using a suitable tool (1) and remove the power mirror switch from the center console.

You need to download the service manual as the steps to remove the console seem a bit much.

 

thanks a lot! I will see if i can do this without braking anything.

 

Where did you end up getting the mirror switch and for how much?

 

Here's a a set of instructions that I used to remove the console to replace the cupholder with the bin.

If you follow this, you'll easily be able to access the remote mirror switch and replace.

Cheers

I am trying to replace my mirror switch also. Anybody know how to do it easily without taking it to a dealer? I love my crossfire but the power mirror switch is put in the dumbest worst place you caould possibly think of. There is way to much traffic where its placed with too great a chance of accidently hitting or breaking it.

 

Is it possible to just take off the **** to clean in the littlecavity underneath?
