98 3.2TL Mirror Replacement on Ebay
I have a crystal blue metalic 3.2TL and the driver side mirror motor does not work. I have already changed out the switch in the dash and that did not fix it. The heater does work. I have found a mirror on ebay and the color looks close, but the guy says it is a silver mirror. I know it has heat in is, so I think that makes it a 3.2TL. Does anyone know if mirrors came in other colors close to the crystal blue metallic? I'd rather not buy it unless I knew it was the correct color, but I suppose if the price doesn't go too high, I could take a chance. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, I may just buy it....
I see our color every once in awhile and it has always been my favorite for this car. I really like the 5-spoke directional wheels too. I always wanted one and found mine about 1-1/2 years ago. I think it is really a classic looking car. Mileage could be better and I wish it took the regular stuff instead of premium, but oh well....

Actually, I was talking about gas mileage. I get about 22 mpg.
Well, the stupid check engine light is on anyway so I guess I could put cheaper stuff in it. The guys at the shop plugged in their computer and it says I need to replace the O2 sensor behind the catalytic converter. New its like $250. Yikes!

it is funny that i posted in this thread a year ago and today my driver side mirror crapped out on me...
same exact car, color, and year... maybe it was a defect that year... so i guess i will have to look for a mirror... anyone know how i can test to make sure whether or not the motor is gone???
this morning the mirror would only move up and down.. then after a few seconds it totally crapped out... so the switch should still be okay???

anyone know what the heater element looks like??? i am pretty sure the heat is still good... i looked on ebay and they only have mirrors without heat... so if just the motor is dead, ill order that and install... next question is how do i take apart the mirror without shattering the glass...

if you look at the back of the mirror, it has 2 wires stick out of it.
the thing is, if try to you peel it off, it will cease to work because you're breaking the metal strips. so be careful.
when I modded mine, I use a relay and hook it up to the defogger, so everytime I defog, the heated mirror activates. pretty cool.
goodluck.
