Avalon side view mirror replacement.... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Anyone have any issues replacing this? I am trying to replace it, but every replacement I get has the wrong connector on it. The replacement comes with a connector that only has 3 inputs. It missing the bottom row. as a result, the mirror can only move left or right, not up or down. I have gone through 2 replacements through TYCO so far....

Are these OEM ones or aftermarket?

It's aftermarket. Brand is TYC, not TYCO. My bad.

Oh, wish I could help, but I don't have any knowledge of the aftermarkets.

Hmmm...do you know if they changed the connectors mid way through the model years? Could that be it? I find it hard to believe that a company would purposely put the wrong connector on it.

What I can see is if you have mirror heater or not, that would be the difference.
