Skoda Power mirror switch replacement

Skoda Power Mirror Switch Replacement

External side mirrors play a big part in occupant safety. Regulations specify that a driver’s side mirror needs to be adjustable from the driver’s seating position. Since it is illegal to put your arm outside the window of a moving Skoda, power mirror switches are used to alter the mirror’s position.

If the power mirror switch is damaged or broken and the Skoda’s mirrors are unable to be adjusted properly, the switch may need to be replaced. An auto electrician can check the mirrors, wires, fuses, modules and switch operation.

The power mirror switch is an electrical component that plugs into the vehicle wiring. When the switch is activated, power is provided to the specific motor for the function and movement required. Newer s utilise a power mirror control switch which connects to a control module instead of a direct link to the mirror motors. This type of mirror switch becomes a command unit and the signal is sent to a computer which operates the mirrors.

It is a legal requirement to be able to adjust the driver’s mirror from the driver’s seat. Power mirrors are designed to make driving safer. The ability to view what is happening behind your Skoda is important in successfully navigating traffic, incident free.
