Toyota Sequoia Side Mirrors Motor Keeps running. Is there a fuse that can be removed?
My Sequoia side mirror motor keeps running? I just want to remove the fuse but the fuse box does not have a label for side mirrors. Is there a specific fuse to remove so I can just move the mirrrow manually?

2001, 2002 - The fuse box is located in the left side of the instrument panel, behind the cover. The location of the fuses in the passenger compartment: ...
You have a short in the wiring of that fused circuit, or less likely that one of the mirror motors has a short. A short is an unintended path to ground, like an exposed wire touching body metal, or an internal motor failure. If that fuse is only for the mirrors and nothing else, it will be easier to find. A likely place will be in the door openings where the wires can get stretched and chafed. Pull the protective boot away from the wires where they enter the door, and check carefully. You may need to get to the mirror motors and to the switch for them. If everything looks okay, better get a multi-meter to check sections of the wires for continuity. A wiring diagram will be needed to find the right color wires that you will be looking for. I am guessing that each motor will have 4 wires to it, 2 for side to side, and 2 for up and down. These 4 wires will come from the switch on the driver's door that operates them. Power travels from the fuse to the switch, and then to the mirrors, as the switch operates them. The ground wire for the mirrors will originate at the switch, or it may be a shared common ground at the driver's master switch for the mirrors and the power windows. The short may be in any of these wires, or in the switch (evident at the connector to the switch as melted plastic, perhaps), or a short in one of the mirror motors. Good luck and good hunting.
if not the fuse.. try to disconnect the control at the mirror adjust button on the drivers side of the vehicle..there will also be a control relay somewhere too..
It is the switch in the mirror motor and it seems to be happening to everyone who owns a Sequoia. The fix is expensive so I figured out if I physically hold both mirrors in place while hitting the console switch to fold the mirrors inward that the mirrors would stay in place and the running motor would shut off.
if it was a bad fuse it would be dead, not stuck on. i would replace the switch before i replaced the mirror, sounds like a function of the switch is bad.
Probably a blown fuse. Find the fuse box, (make sure car if not running, key out of ignition), open fuse box cover. The cover usually has a description of what fuse does each power task. Find the radio/ACC fuses and removing them one at a time (don't have 2 out at once), hold them up to the light and look for a broken band inside the fuse. If you find one, replace it with a new one of the same size and amperage. It is the cheapest place to start.
You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle,
arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the
panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want
to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to
get it off the window ledge. Then you can remove the bolts holding the mirror onto the door and disconnect the cables from the mirror going into the door
I researched the maintenance manual. The fuse you need to replace is fuse 20 in the under dash fuse box. It controls side windows, washer motor, rear view dim function, and possible seat memory. There are a couple that link to the mirrors, but this is the one for this problem.
