03 2.0 Broken door mirror. - daveyg26
I have a 53 mondeo ghia which has electric door mirrors with powerfold and puddle lamps. On new years day some drunken buffoon decided it would be a good idea to break the offside mirror off. Since then obviously the passenger has stop working and so has the interior lights which was expected as its prob blown a few fuses. The one thing i cant work out is that my hazards start flashing a few seconds after the car has been locked and everytime the ignition is cycled my gauges do full sweep and the trip miles, mpg, etc reset themselves to zero! anyone have any ideas on this would be much appreciated.

It is very possible that the fuse for the mirror (probably blown)also controls the memory circuit for the dash pod.So that every time you key on,the dash pod re-boots.Another possibilty is that the battery is low voltage.hth
