12V GLS Electric Mirrors

Post by Kip Dingo »

Hi everyone...not had my Corsa long...taking a break from a winter on two wheels this year and enjoying this little car...just one question...what is the tiny button for on the electric mirrors control pad? Has a little yellow light next to it (which doesn't seem to work now) My guess was for heating the mirrors but I really don't know...

Thought it might be...not sure the heating actually works but the electric moving side of them does...could do with a new passenger side assembly in electric blue if anyone has a spare? ;)

My car isn't a project of any sort...in all honesty we got it after our Fiesta failed it's MOT due to airbag issues so we basically swapped it...other half has a new car now and I kept the Corsa as my winter hack...of course that doesn't mean I'd turn down some alloys or a cherry bomb exhaust for it lol

PS I'm in Southampton...
