Easy FN2 Honda Civic Type R folding mirror repair

Video to show how to replace the SOD (shut off device) inside the fn2 civic wing mirror. This is an easy repair for anyone to try. Will re-enable the mirrors folding functions. The part needed can be replaced for around £35 from the eBay link:

Thank you! sorted both my wing mirrors now :)

You can easily replace the external resettable fuse (the tan blob on top of the SOD) if you have a small pair of pliers and a soldering iron. 10 minutes tops (plus however long it takes the soldering iron to warm up).

[@ianclaridge8821]

Just what I was looking for. Cheers mate 👍

[@miguelzelissen2363]

Nooooo... You dont need to take the glass out of it! Just take a rubber glove and you can pull the plastic lid off!

Liked the video, very helpful, my passenger mirror is the exact same at the moment.

[@Gari.Hughes]

Good info, but the portrait video is hard to watch!
I have both mirrors on 2 civics to repair! but I'm going the cheap route and replacing the poly fuse for £1.70 per mirror

Thank you so much.

[@That_Guy_In_The_Sky]

Nice one thanks.

[@danijel124]

Is this issue the same when my mirrors dont fold all the way and sometimes they are slow to close??? Please respond

[@wookanio]

Exactly what I wanted to ask as well. Drivers side is fine but the passenger side only goes up half way and doesnt go back all the way down... Did you find a fix for that?

[@danijel124]

@@wookanio I repaired the mirrors replacing that electronic board. They work as new now ;)

[@alexhatten9361]

hi my passinger ones dont fold eather it just clicks does that mean is same reapair as urs thanks

[@victorstrahilov108]

When removing the glass do you squeeze the two bits holding the wires or you just pull them away? Thanks, great video!

[@bowenrey1633]

@Colby Neil i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@bowenrey1633]

@Colby Neil it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account!

Question: was your mirror dead completely? Because mine begins to budge just a little, like a milimeter.

[@joshuaedwards8027]

Not sure if you’re still experiencing the problem but in mine it would only move a few millimetres at a time every time I turned the car on, replacing this fixed it

[@thebanditsix]

Weird why some people still say wing mirror rather than door mirror.

[@CSmithyPx]

Tried this and my mirror moved once and nothing again. The fuse hasn't blown as it still has continuity.

[@RaiderOfTheLost]

Is there a SOD in each wing mirror?

[@arunly9061]

My mirrors are totally different, when you remove this cover you cant see this SOD...

[@darland3821]

Those pliers look like 81s?

[@petemanley4221]

Haha. That's just what I thought. Not many people know they are actually AT1s .. "Apparatus Terminating No1" from the BT stores book

[@otacon4065]

hi, does this work for ep3 mirrors too?
