Title: Dipping N/S Mirror on reverse issue
Post by ekim168 on Jan 26^th, 2011, 7:16am

Hello all just got my first scorpio (95 Ultima 2ltr Auto) and I am having an issue with the self dipping mirror on reverse.

The problem is that when I select reverse the mirror dips all the way down so I can only see the ground and when I take the selector back to drive it only returns up slightly. Is there a way I can disable this feature or will I need a replacement?

thanks in advance

Mike

Mike.
Take the door panel off and disconnect the BLACK plug,the white plug caters for all the other functions.Best wear thin gloves,the black sealant is messy.

How is the mirror set initially??. Have you tried setting it to a slightly higer setting for normal use using the control on the drivers door ??. :)

@simmo yeah have tried setting it to the highest upwards setting then going into reverse and it travels all the way back down and then up slightly when going back into drive

If you have an electric drivers seat with memory, have you stored after setting the mirror? Page 68 here:
