Description
Right Side Exterior Mirror For CITROËN C5 From 2005, May Also Be Used On Earlier Models. Electric Adjustment, Electrically Folding To The Vehicle, Heated, Temperature Sensor. Color EWP – Paint White Banquise. 12-Pin (6+6). Passenger Side.
Overview
High-quality replacement right (passenger-side) exterior mirror designed for Citroën C5 models. This complete mirror assembly offers electric adjustment, electric folding, integrated heating and a temperature sensor for reliable demisting. The unit is supplied in EWP (White Banquise) paint and uses a 12-pin (6+6) connector. Ideal for professional workshops and DIY mechanics looking for a direct-fit component identified by common part numbers.
Key Benefits
- Direct replacement for passenger-side mirror assemblies on many Citroën C5 vehicles — minimizes fitting time.
- Electric folding saves clearance and protects the mirror during tight parking situations.
- Heated glass and temperature sensor improve visibility in cold and damp conditions.
- 12-pin connector (6+6) ensures full functionality with electric adjustment and heating circuits.
- Part-number searchable (common practice for mechanics) — speeds up identification and ordering.
Typical Applications / Compatible Models
Fits Citroën C5 models from 2005 and can be compatible with some earlier model years depending on trim and original equipment. Often found on both First and Second Generation C5 variants where the 12-pin connector and passenger-side configuration match. Always match the connector type, mounting points and part numbers when confirming fitment.
How To Replace (Basic Guide for Mechanics and DIY)
- Park the vehicle on level ground and disconnect the battery before starting work to avoid short circuits and airbag/vehicle electronics issues.
- Remove the interior door trim or the mirror access panel to expose the mirror mounting screws and electrical connector.
- Carefully unplug the 12-pin connector (6+6) and release any retaining clips; note connector orientation for reassembly.
- Unscrew the mirror mounting nuts or bolts and lift the old mirror assembly away from the door.
- Fit the replacement mirror, hand-thread the mounting fasteners, then torque to the manufacturer’s specification.
- Reconnect the electrical connector, replace trim panels, reconnect the battery and test mirror adjustment, folding and heating functions.
- Check mirror glass alignment and ensure folding mechanism operates smoothly without binding.
Why Mirrors Fail (Most Common Causes)
- Impact Damage: Bumps and collisions are the most frequent cause of broken or misaligned mirrors.
- Water Ingress And Corrosion: Moisture can corrode the motor or connector pins, degrading electrical function over time.
- Motor Wear: Repeated folding/adjustment cycles can wear out small electric motors or gear trains.
- Heater Element Faults: Heating elements or internal wiring can fail from thermal cycling or moisture.
- Connector Issues: Bent or corroded pins in the 12-pin connector can cause intermittent or total loss of functions.
