Hi all,

Have looked up previous posts but to no avail.

All fuses are fine however I am getting no movement in mirrors when trying to adjust. Puddle lights are fine and the heated mirrors do not function (Although I have heard a rumour that they only operate when the demister is on?).

Can anyone suggest where else to look?! All plugs etc look fine at the controller.

Always hot from F2-16 (which means the fuse is hiding under the dash by the drivers' left knee) Og/LG (orange with light green) goes to the switch. That means it passes through the infamous drivers door hinge area where wires break. That's where to look.
 






Yep, what #12 said, They are 12 gauge wires bending on a 90 degree.
 






Sure enough it's broke along with black and orange! Thanks guys.
 






The wire bundle should be designed so as not to bend, but twist. If the level of where they enter the door was offset, higher or lower they would twist and not be prone to bending and breaking.
