    Anyone have a picture or diagram of the inside of our window switches?

    My side view mirrors were not working properly so I took my switch apart to clean it. Problem is 4-5 plastic parts feel out from the window area of the switch and I'm having a tough time guessing how to put it back together correctly. I probably should not have messed with it.

    Got 75% figured out. Seems to be just 4 black rectangular pieces that go in to the window buttons some how.

    Good news is I did not screw anything up. Windows work perfect again but side mirror problem remains. Both mirrors only go down. Not up. Not side to side. Oh well. I guess I will just adjust them manually.

    Glad you got it back together.
    What color is your control switch?

    LOL It was a classic case of I can take this apart now how do I get it back together. 2 white pieces and 4 black pieces fell out. Now a normal person would have solved the puzzle faster than I did but oh well.

    The trim on the piece is like a light tan. I have a tan beige interior. There are 1-3 interior trim pieces I might not mind replacing some day. The plastic surrounding the gear shift has a scuff.
