2000 C70 Convertible - Passenger Sun Visor light

Post by sincitylawyer »

The light under the passenger side sun visor stays on when the sun visor is up, but turns off when the sun visor is down. Additionally, when the sun visor is down and you open the mirror on the sun visor, the light does not turn on. Any suggestions on what is wrong? Could it be a short in the light? Has anyone seen this issue before?

Had the same problem with my C70. Finally bought a used one on Ebay for $40. The switch inside the visor is plastic and they do wear out over time.

+1 on a replacement visor.
That switch is buried in the mirror and they don't come out without a fight.
Most of the deals I've seen around include both sides, but that may work to your advantage.
If you haven't got HomeLink in your current drivers visor... :mrgreen: UPGRADE! :wink:
