has anyone got this problem that i've got? the lights on the passenger side-visor do not work. i went through all the fuses and they're fine. i also swapped the bulb with the bulb from the driver-side visor, and the bulb worked fine in the opposite visor. so, i presume that the visor isn't getting power--anybody have any ideas where i'd start? thanks in advance.

I'd lean toward the microswitch or the thin wire feeding the mirror. You can remove the mirror assembly by peeling off the stickers behind the bulbs to access the mounting screws. The mirror can be replaced w/o ordering the whole visor...

thanks heath, after i got it apart, i measured the voltage at the connector, which was 0, which narrowed it down to wire between the splice from the previous connector and this one--turns out someone replaced the visor once, and instead of bothering with the wires, cut them, taped them, and stuffed them up in the roof liner. anyway, i've spliced them back together and everything's working fine now. thanks again.
