Description
Left Driver’s Side Exterior Mirror For PEUGEOT 406
Electrically Adjustable, Heated
Color ETHC Grey Metallic
Lightly Scuffed Paint
5-Pin
This left (driver’s side) exterior mirror is a direct-fit replacement for Peugeot 406 models requiring an electrically adjustable and heated mirror. Finished in ETHC grey metallic, the unit includes a 5-pin electrical connector and shows minor paint scuffs consistent with normal used-condition wear. It is intended for mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts looking for a reliable OE-style mirror assembly.
Function
The mirror provides external rearward visibility with electric adjustment and an integrated heating element to de-ice and demist the glass. Electric motor adjustments allow on-the-fly positioning from the cabin while the heater speeds clearing of condensation and frost for improved visibility and safety.
Fitment
Designed For: Peugeot 406 (Saloon/Sedan, Estate/SW, Coupe) — Driver Side (Left). Verify model variant and mirror options when replacing, as mounting and connector types can vary by production year and trim.

Installation Recommendations
- Safety First: Disconnect the vehicle battery before working on door electrics to avoid short circuits and accidental operation.
- Access: Remove the interior triangular trim or door card to reach the mirror fixing bolts and the 5-pin connector.
- Removal: Support the mirror from outside, remove the retaining nuts/bolts, carefully disconnect the 5-pin harness and any heating element wiring.
- Installation: Connect the electrical plug, align the mirror, torque the mounting fasteners to manufacturer specification, refit trims and test all functions (adjustment, folding if applicable, and heating) before final assembly.
- Tips: Use dielectric grease on connector contacts if available to reduce corrosion risk. Avoid forcing the adjustment motor; if movement is stiff, inspect for binding or foreign objects first.
Most Common Reasons For Failure
- Impact Damage: Collisions or knocks from road debris are the leading cause of broken housings, cracked glass or misaligned mechanisms.
- Motor Or Actuator Wear: Repeated use or ingress of dirt and moisture can cause the electric motor or gearing to fail or become noisy.
- Water Ingress And Corrosion: Moisture entering the housing or connector can corrode contacts and heating elements, causing intermittent or permanent electrical failure.
- Connector Or Wiring Damage: Chafed wires or damaged connectors (often from door hinge movement) lead to loss of electrical functions.
- Surface Wear: Paint scuffs and minor cosmetic damage occur from stones, brushes, or close parking and do not typically affect function.
