Features and Function
Electrically operated mirror assembly for the driver door, supplied in EXY Black Onyx paint. The unit uses a 5-wire connector to provide electric adjustment and related functions — depending on vehicle equipment this connector can also support heated element or additional features. The assembly is a complete mirror housing including motor and glass, ready to fit the door mount on compatible Xsara Picasso models.
Replacement And Installation
Suitable for mechanics and experienced DIYers. Typical replacement steps:
- Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work to avoid short circuits and accidental movement.
- Remove the interior triangular trim or mirror cover on the driver door to access the mirror mounting nuts.
- Disconnect the electrical connector (note the 5-wire plug) and carefully release any clips.
- Unscrew the mounting nuts/bolts and remove the old mirror from the door.
- Fit the new mirror, secure the mounting nuts to the correct tightness, reconnect the wiring and reassemble the interior trim.
- Reconnect the battery and test all mirror functions: adjustment, heating (if fitted) and fold/unfold operations.
If the vehicle has electric folding or heated function, verify operation after installation and ensure connectors are fully seated and free of corrosion.
Mounting Recommendations
- Always disconnect the battery before disassembly to prevent electrical damage and accidental actuation.
- Use the correct tools to avoid stripping fasteners; do not overtighten mounting nuts — tighten to a firm, secure feel.
- Check the connector pins for corrosion or bent pins before fitting the new unit. Apply dielectric grease to connectors if exposed to moisture-prone environments.
- Align the mirror and test all functions before final reassembly of door trim to ensure correct adjustment and electrical operation.
Why The Part Most Frequently Fails
- Impact Damage: Most common cause is collision or knocks (parking accidents, side impacts) that crack the housing or glass and damage internal linkages.
- Motor Wear: Repeated use and age can wear the mirror drive motor or gearing, causing sluggish or failed adjustment.
- Water Ingress And Corrosion: Moisture entering the housing or connector area can corrode contacts and motors, leading to intermittent or complete failure.
- Electrical Issues: Damaged wiring, connector faults or blown fuses affecting adjustment or heating functions.
