How to replace the side view mirror on a 1999 Ford Taurus?
Something hit my passenger side mirror as I drove down the highway. The glass came off completely, which was easy to replace, but you can no longer adjust it because it doesn't respond to the power controls. I'm not sure how to get inside to see what's loose or broken. Any suggestions?
It should have two or three regular Phillips screws on the interior door panel. After you remove them, you lift the interior door panel up and over the lock nob on top by the window and pull it back towards you. Reach on the back and unclip the electrical for power windows and locks if your car has them. When the panel is off there should be some mat thing stuck to the metal. Peel it back by the mirror and there should be a space where you will see the power clip. Unplug it and plug it back in. If the power doesn't work, then the mirror probably broke internally on the engine and you need a replacement. Go eBay or aftermarket but oem will be expensive. It's easy to install from where you're already at. It's like two bolts holding on the actual mirror. Hope that helps.

- Ford Focus 2004 Passenger side mirror unattached? The passenger side mirror fell off, does anyone know quick ways to temporarily reattach, even in the cold? It's only holding by a few wires. Would it damage it if I were to drive it with it hanging? (Currently an average of 20 degrees Fahrenheit)
- Average cost to replace side mirror done by Ford Dealership? Hello everyone had a late night accident coming back from work and knocked off my driver side mirror if my 2014 ford fiesta. Brought it into the Ford dealership, just want to know if the price they quoted for parts and labor seems alright. They charged 333.39 for the mirror itself and said it would be an additional 120 to actually part it on the car. Does that seem a little high? I understand doing it at a dealership costs more, but I needed my car fixed quickly.
- Popping noise in rear wheels when I shake my truck side to side. What would cause this sound? I have a 2003 ford f150 xlt supercrew and when i turn sometimes it sounds like something falls over in my bed of my truck.( i have nothing in the bed of my truck) so i had someone shake my truck side to side while i climbed under the back by the rear end, and found that my rear wheels (both sides) make a popping noise. What could this be?
