Mitsubishi Outlander 2.2 Di-Diamond - Electric Door Mirrors

Our 1999 model Mitsubishi car as above has had issues with the electric door mirrors for some time.  

Initially the Driver's side mirror would not open-out or if out, not return back in when ignition off etc.  Although under warranty, the dealer reluctant to attend to it. Eventually they replaced the motor/gearbox or whatever and all was ok. However the Passenger side mirror developed the same intermittent fault and again the dealer showed no interest in repair, saying that if the fault doesn't show when they see the car, they will not pursue it.  This is with a annually paid for extended warranty.

The extended warranty expired a few weeks ago and since the car is now too old, Mitsubishi's insurers will not renew my cover...

Needless to say the fault has come back.


Does anyone know how to access the workings of these door mirrors? (A sledge hammer comes to mind...)  I guess it could be the motor, limit switches or the cables where it comes from the door through a rubber boot.  But ideally, I would like to know the best way in.

Many thanks.

  • I own an early 90s Mitsubishi Delica. I always investigate any cables that flex a lot, and also electrical connections that may get wet such as in doors where rain can fall down from the window. Next I look at the switches to check reliability. Finally I will investigate the offending item, such as the motorised mirrors. A leisurely investigation on a Sunday in the sun normally reveals the offending culprit.
