I've had the centre console out for a little job and the only thing which doesn't work when it's all back together are the mirrors. I've tried the relay and that seems OK. Before I start taking things apart to find out what's wrong I'd like to check the fuse but the fuse box diagram doesn't show a fuse for the mirrors. Does anyone know which one it is?
Thanks in advance thumbup

This was the problem, as usual it was something simple...



The spade terminal on the end of the green wire had failed but because it was covered by tight fitting plastic cover I didn't notice it for some time.

I'd still like to know if there a fuse for the mirrors though.

Don't you just love TVR wiring --- I have the greatest of respect for those chaps from Openreach who sit by the roadside in all weathers delving into the bowels of the green boxes and somehow always seem to find the wires that match.

I have a theory that they just yank wires out until they get a customer complaint from that one line they were looking for ...laugh

That's how I'd do it, anyway.
