I recently installed an electric mirror on the passenger side door of my folks 740GL sedan (Australian model - RHD). Orginally it was equipped with a manual mirror however, the car was pre-wired to take electric mirrors. This is the pre-93 mirror with four mounting screws.
I cannot get the mirror to work properly. It will not move in the up/down direction - it just makes a clicking sound. Also, to move the mirror left/right the switch on the driver's door must be moved up/down. I double checked all the wiring (some fool cut wires to get power to an engine immobiliser - no it wasn't me). All the wire colours match up correctly.
I tried moving wires around on the motor but didn't make any difference.
If it's clicking then I assume it's getting power so maybe something is stuck? I can move the mirror up/down by hand and it will click past the teeth of the gears but I don't want to keep doing that.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Brad
