C3 2011 Drivers Door Mirror Sensor

[saltford]

Hi Does anyone know how to strip out the drivers door mirror to change the temp sensor. I have taken out the mirror glass but not sure what to do next, any pics/advice please. Many Thanks in advance. PS the fault I have is just three dashes in the display so it does not display the outside temp, I have got a new sensor but need some help.

Welcome to the forum.

 

You need to unclip the mirror top cover (slide it forward), then the lower cover to get to the sensor. The old should be cut off from the wiring and the new one joined to the wiring. It might be possible to do this without removing the mirror from the door but I am not sure.

Hi Paul.h what are you calling the top cover the black surround or the painted back part of the mirror

The covers are the parts on the front, not the black surround. Make sure you pull the white top one forward since if it is similar to our C4, it is held by lugs which can break off if not careful - my experience when the cover was knocked and a new cover was needed, about £50 painted.
