Hello All,
In my ignorance I did not know how the mirror control wires for my VY Commodore's driver's side door card should unplug. The way I got the socket unplugged resulted in the guts of the mechanism flying out. Luckily, I found all the bits in the grass. However, I did not know how to put everything back together and where bits should go. Yes, I hear you say, "when will you learn to put a tarp down under where you are working, so if any parts fall off the vehicle you can find them". I was reminded about that as soon as the first screw fell off and played hide and seek in the grass.
I came inside and went online to find out how much a replacement part would cost. Having found out the cost was reasonable I thought, what the hell, I wonder if there is anything on YouTube and I searched for "VY Commodore side mirror adjustment?"
Well blow me down with a feather - there was clip VY Commodore Side Mirror Switch Fix with "Riles". Stephen Riley was attempting to get the downward adjustment moving on his car's driver's mirror working again. To do this he showed close-ups of pulling the guts of the switch apart, and putting it back together again. Thank you YouTube and Stephen for posting the clip up. My Commodore's mirror control switch is now back together again and working properly.
Kind regards
Lionel
