The side mirrors of my 2007 Ford Edge recentally stopped working. They automatically adjust when you pick either setting 1 or 2 depending on the driver and switch that controls the mirrors will only allow the mirrors to adjust certain ways. It's not just one mirror either it's both of them. I was wondering what would cause this? I have had numerous problems with the ford garage in our area and don't wana waste the money for them to not fix it. So I wanted to see if there was some things I could try myself first. Thanks!!

Don't you have any other repair shops in your area. A local independent repair shop an not a chain store type , like pep boys or firestone , monroe muffler an brakes etc..... The switch could be the problem , but without testing that's just a guess . The thing to do would be to use a digital volt meter an test the circuitry into the an out . B+ power and ground . There are videos on youtube , testing electrical stuff on cars . Basic Electricity for Service Techs Ohm law Current Flow Opens Shorts

Check out some more videos . You can find wiring diagrams at

SOURCE: 2008 Ford Fusion Wing Mirror Replacement

I checked Ford Focus mirror replacement and it seems to be the same. This is for the manual, unheated mirror.

Remove the mirror cover inside the door - slide a screwdriver behind the cover and pry loose carefully.

Remove the single 10mm bolt and the mirror comes free.
NB. Do not drop the bolt into the door.

SOURCE: sideview mirror

On the inside trim, you can 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'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror onto the door

How to replace outside side power mirrors in original housing? 2008 Ford Edge

Google replacement mirror glass for Ford Edge 08.

They make a replacement mirror glass available that uses double sticky tape. This has worked great for me. The heated function still continued to work!! In my case I replaced a scratched mirror leaving the old mirror in place. If yours is broken included is a link for a procedure to replace a broken mirror.

Confirm the dimensions before purchasing. Some car manufactures have more than one design for different model cars same year..

How to check oil in ford focus gearbox automatic

The recent Ford Automatics do not all have a dipstick. You can remove a sight plug on the side of the Transmission and see if it is full as described in a repair manual, such as Chiltons or Haynes. These can be picked up at your local auto parts store, book store, or WalMart.
The idea is that these new transmissions and fluids are so reliable that you should not need to check it - between major servicing - such as changing the transmission filter and fluid. Depending on the model this should be at least around 50,000 miles.

Driver side mirror won't work but passenger side works fine

Each mirror has a motor. This could be the problem. The driver's side mirror is adjusted more often and over time the motor wears out. Call a few of the parts stores in your area to compare prices. Depending on the cost to replace it through a shop you may save a few dollars by picking up the part and taking to a certified mechanic who can replace the part for you.
