Probably need a new sensor, which I believe is part of the n/s mirror

A guys where i can get the part number ? As abit confusing as my 2011 also in tje same year as the mk2

Ok read a few posts and some are saying a new wing mirror as the sensor cannot be replaced has anyone changed their sensor without buying a new mirror

The mirrors are the same on both Mk2.5 and Mk3.

I had a quick look online but can't see the correct temp sensor available to buy aftermarket.  I guess you could buy a damaged mirror cheaply and try to salvage the sensor from it.  Though tbh I'd probably just buy a decent used mirror to save the hassle.

Is there anything special about your mirrors?  Powerfold, BLIS, etc?

They have adjustabilty and are heated. That's it

Ah, should be plenty of those about on eBay or at breakers yards then.  Colour doesn't matter as you can swap the cap easily.

Cheers buddybits a new wing mirror then lol

Why ford did not make ameasy sensor replacement i don't know 

Before i buy a new wing mirror does anyone know if i disconnect the battery would this do a reset ?

I'd advise against that. You will find fitting a wing mirror on the door is very difficult 🤣

As it happens there is no reason to disconnect the battery in order to replace the door mirror. It is a very simple case of just unplugging it and then plugging in the replacement. The whole job should take less than 30 minutes and nothing needs to be reset.

Many thanks

Typically me thinking just to disconnect thebaytery will sort out the existing mirror 

Gonna bite the bullet and buy a new one

Thanks again

Sensor does remove as it has to go in from new.

But it's not sold as a separate item, always comes with a new mirror head.

As, mentioned, you could buy a salvage mirror and reuse the sensor, but it's buried, right down, in the body, it's the first thing that goes in

Thats about right for manufacturers lol

 

All sorted bought a aftermarket new one off fleabay for £40 came complete woth mirror etc. 5 mins to swap and nw got spot on ouside temp 👍
