Illuminated Vanity Mirror - Light Inoperative
Vehicle Type:
Boxster/Boxster S
Model Year:
As of '97 (V)
Concerns:
Illuminated vanity mirror (I No. 274) in the sun visor - light inoperative.
Information:
In addition to defective bulbs or a blown fuse (fuse C3), the problem can also be caused by a disengaged contact spring in the vanity mirror. The
contact spring disengages when the opened cover of the vanity mirror is "overpressed" past the end position.
In the event of a complaint, replace the vanity mirror. Previously only the complete sun visor was available. The vanity mirror housing is now
available as an individual part.
Parts Information:
Tools:
Slotted screwdriver (small and medium width) or narrow plastic wedge
Torx wrench T20
Side cutters
Knife or cable insulation stripper, crimp
Connector and crimping pliers
Heat shrink tubing or electrical tape
Hot-air gun
Work Procedure:
Replace illuminated vanity mirror in the sun visor. The previous mirror insert will continue to be used. The work can be carried out with sun visor
installed or removed. In the following, the work is described for a removed sun visor.
