When I watched this video i was horrified for how much work needs to be done to change one little motor,i order it and i change it in 1h50min,works as new,thank you
The first time, I used approximately the same time, and then after some practise, it was around 1h, but we repaired hundreds of them.
@@JB_Auto . Hi, first of all, thank you for the great video! I also have a Mazda CX-3 and am experiencing a very similar problem. Unfortunately, the local dealers in Germany are only offering a full mirror replacement as a solution. Therefore, I would really like to get it repaired at your garage. Would that be possible? I would greatly appreciate your response.
@ybo-13 Hi, thank you for watching and great comment. I'm unfortunately not located in Germany.
We need more people like you!!!
Plz fix my Mazda mirror!!
Very labour intensive, thanks for the upload.
Excellent video. Youre a source of goodness in this world sir. Tq
@@rafamerengues8935 You are welcome 😊
Excellent tutorial - helped me loads
Very common problem for mazda
In one of your comments you state that the replacement motor is determined by VIN? I would expect those motors to be pretty common across model years.
Yes VIN is necessary, and they are pretty common so no problem with availability.
Why did they make it this way 🙄 . My Miata NA 1990 ... two bolds on the outside 👌 . New is not always better .
@VIKTOR-ck3dx That's why I prefer old good cars🙂
Hello! Very interested video. Can you give me the article name of this mechanism for mazda CX-3?
Hi, Parts are available only at the dealership by VIN
@@JB_Auto Dear, can you Please write the name article of your part?
@@slivkimarket That's not possible, because there is many options, and that is assigned to Vehicle Identification Number that is VIN, therefore you need to visit your dealership and order the part based on VIN.
@@JB_Auto There is no Mazda dealer in my country. That's why I ask you at least the approximate article of the model, and there I'll see for myself whether it suits me or not. Can you tell me?
I've got this exact issue on a 2015 Mazda 3. I hardly ever use the folding ability and wondered if theres a quicker way of just disabling the motor? (I still want the flasher and electric mirror to work of course)
Hi, I've been asked many times about that. The fastest way is to remove the connector from the folding motor. So, remove the mirror glass, and You should be able to reach the connector; if there is no access, remove the top garnish. You can do that without the removal of the whole mirror.
@@JB_Auto Thanks for the reply! I'll have another look at your video and give it a go.
Hi, great video. You mention a mirror refurb kit. Do you have a link to these at all?
@cycobikes Hi, thank you for watching. Repair kits like motors and wiring depending on the model are available at the dealership based on VIN.
@@JB_Auto replaced mine today thanks. it also showed that the other side is very sluggish when retracting so will have to tackle that side another day lol
Can i use a carburetor cleaner instead of spray you used for my mirrors?
good job mr jack ❤❤
Hi,
Where is your garage located?
Amazing videos!
Hello great video! Can you advice where I can buy the motor for wing mirror? I have tried couple of websites but they only have whole wing mirror units? Thanks!
Thanks, Mazda dealership only, based on VIN
@@JB_Auto Thank you. I will try to find one of them.👍
Impressive video but for a complete novice like myself it looks like a total ball ache, especially if you haven’t got a suitable garage space to work on it!
Thanks, regarding the space you just need good weather for two hours, and if you follow the instructions on the video it should be a breeze🙂
@@JB_Auto That really sucks that you have to take the door apart to replace the motor for the mirror. A two hour job. I'll make sure I never buy a car with folding mirrors.
It's not that bad, first time it shouldn't take more than one and a half hours, second time will be faster🙂
@@JB_Auto Ok thanks. Looks like I will probably do this job. My understanding is that there is a TSB related to this issue, somehow water gets in to the motor. Did you do anything to avoid that with the new motor.?
@@wally8404 It was supposed to be modified and sealed better, and do not use them during winter time. In my opinion those internal parts are too fragile.
How much the motor costs
I removed the number 10 fuse for folding mirrors and it still keeps making the noise like it’s trying to move the mirror how can I stop that just want to disconect it
Hi, remove the top garnish from the mirror housing to get access to the power supply wiring and disconnect it from the mirror motor.
@@JB_Auto Have same issue on Mazda 6 and only repair is swap of the motor or unit as far as I understood?
@@eagleeyephoto8715 that's right, or disconnection of the motor as mentioned in the comment above🙂
@@JB_Auto Can the connector be disconnected from the mirror side , when I pull this one off? Mine seems to have slip in fold out direction in the gearing and motor making only winding sound. Have to call Mazda dealer or to buy knock off unit which is about 189 euro , for complete mirror unit.
On some models, you can reach that connector by removing the mirror glass like in the video, and on some models, you need to remove the garnish additionally( the garnish is that painted plastic part on top front part of the mirror). See also my other video related to Mazda 6 mirror motor replacement, which is 2012-2014 model, and similar to newer models, that might help you as well.
👏
mirror not folding may be caused by the motor actuator in the mirror which is a relativity cheap fix & just get your mazda dealer to fix it as they know what their doing & don't have to follow a CZcams vid to do it
Don’t know how it looks like in other countries, but in Europe dilerships repairs are very costly, regardless of what you fixing.
Job took me 4,5 hours complete nightmare. Some broken pins. I would rather prefer manual folding mirrors for sure instead of this rubbish.
Do u think it will be covered in warranty .?
Yes, if within warranty periode.
Within 5 years I was told by a UK Mazda dealer
