    M5 Folding Mirror Question

    Greetings All,
    On top of the folding mirror motor housing is an electronic component - (picture below).

    Can anyone explain what this is?
    Need to replace this piece - as it's broken now (I broke it).
    There is repair thread here that eliminated this piece...
    Thanks.
    Jack

    That's the motor housing. The motor gets engaged by the switch and basically makes the mirror rotate around it.
