Hello from the Northeastern Plains of Wy transplanted from Tx. My wife and I just purchased a 05 Black SSR couple weeks ago sure wish I could drive it. Just found this site what a great bunch it seems to be. Only problem we have found is side mirrors want adjust with control knob any ideas were to start. Thanks for any help and looking forward to being a part of the family.

I cannot help you with the mirror problem but I’m sure someone here can.

I would suggest you start another post in the “SSR Technical Discussion” with “Problem w/ Mirror” or something like that in the “Title”.

The best help you will ever find is on this site but some may not look at your post because of the Title.

CONGRATS and WELCOME, Roadglide . . . from Southern Arizona.

Your mirror adjustment problem could be something as simple as a bad or loose connection, especially since both mirrors are not responding.

You are aware the little knob on the arm rest needs to be rotated towards the mirror needing to be adjusted?

Welcome to the Fanatics from WNC. You may already know this but just in case. You need to turn the little knob to the left like it were a knob on the stove for your left mirror and clockwise for the right mirror.

Since you know the trick, my money is on a bad or loose connection or possibly a bad switch. It's just not likely both mirror motors went South at the same time.

Welcome from Phoenix, AZ!

Pull the driver's side door panel and make sure the wire bundle from the mirror is connected to tha harness. If it's not, the mirror wire bundle will be hanging, and the connector to the harness will be lying in the bottom of the door.

If you need help, send me a PM and I'll walk you through it.

Speaking on the mirrors and not the "nuts", we had a member recently who could not locate the mirror control. When I told him where it was on the door panel he still could not locate it. We finally figured out when the remote stopped working a previous owner decided the easy way out was to remove any sign of the control knob by removing it and re-covering the door skin. One setting suits all I guess!
Now that was nutty! I don't recall the member but a search should bring it up. Repairs were all made within the door panel assembly.
