Chrome mirror Switch help
« on: December 24, 2014, 01:06:07 pm »
Hi guys.

Looking for some help. I got hold of a chrome mirror switch. Fitted fine, however i have issues with the functions, they all work however the heating and mirror folding are switched round. So when i select to close mirror the heated mirror comes on and when i put heated mirror on they close.

Now can i de-pin the plug and swap the wires around?

If so does anyone have a diagram to which colour wire operates what function?

Any help would be great

cheers and happy Xmas.

why not just send back for a refund or ask for a replacement  :laugh:

Seems a bit extreme to be pulling it apart


So much for keeping it standard!

Cheers for the replies guys.

My father in Law got the full set from Poland when he was over on business a few months back. the Pt number on the item is 5K0 959 565.

My old one has the heat function at the bottom between the L & R. and the mirror close function in the middle at the top. New one has mirror function on top left and heat function on top right. Bottom is L 0 R.

So i take it may need a gen UK version. If anyone has  alink to one that would be great.

Sorted it.

As my old switch was fine and the only difference to the new one was
1, silver knob
2, The markings slightly different

I just swapped over the knob. So now i have the silver trim but my old switch and full functionality still :)
