Faulty Wing Mirror Retractor

[olanlokun omolodun]

Hi, over the new year weekend my wing mirror retractor failed. The wing mirroe would not stay folded unless i switch of the engine and it unfolds whenever i switch on the engine again. What could be wrong with the switch - a latching mechanism or a blown fuse? Do I have to take off the dashboard portion to fix it?

I don,t think its a fuse problem.. It does how ever sound like a switch or mirror problem.... suggest you go to a lexus dealership see if a tech can have a quick look(aka wait job). I,m sure there will be litttle or no charge... it may be a warranty item or a commen fault...
