SOURCE: Replace passenger side power mirror clearance lamp (bulb only).

If you are facing the passenger side mirror adjust the top (large) mirror so that it is turning in towards the truck as far as it will go. Then look behind the mirror in the bottom righthand corner (outside bottom corner) and you will see a silver metal clip. Take a straight head screw driver and push on that clip and the lens will pop out. Then you simply unscrew the bulb holder from the lens and replace your bulb. Good luck!

SOURCE: Remove the Passenger side door frame on a 2002 Ford Explorer

    Lift up on the switch plate until it snaps out ,remove the bolt from under there and the bolts along the bottom of the panel. There may be a few others so look around. When all are removed lift up on the door panel(DO NOT pull towards you it will destroy the panel). Your mirror is now accessible.

Ford does not like to supply hardware with replacement components. You will need to carefully transfer the mounting parts from the old mirror to the new one. Line all parts up into the fixture and press in firmly. When you fell a solid snap, you'll know it has seated.

SOURCE: 2003 Ford Explorer-Rear Wiper Motor-How to Replace?

the plastic panel pops off , if you had a trim removal tool it would be nice but it can be improvised , they are just tension clips , get some kind of lever behind the panel and give it a pop , once the plastic panel is off its pretty much self explanatory from there , a connector and couple small bolts , now the outside has nut under the w/w blade , a piece of the arm cover pops up to access the nut , remove w/w arm , then a grommet and under the grommet is a bigger nut that helps hold the motor onto the door/hatch , when reinstalling before you put the w/w arm back on run the wiper and make sure it shuts off and in the park position . should be a piece of cake .

How to replace sideview mirror motor on95 Riviera

You don't replace the motor. Replace the entire mirror. If you want to replace just the motor, you have to remove the mirror first and they break. Either the mirror will break or the tabs that hold the mirror to the motor.

1999 Ford Falcon - How to fix/replace the mirror glass and backing plate of the driver side mirror unit?

Use a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the glass. This will soften the glue which holds the mirror onto actuator. Gently pry the mirror off. the actuator can then be unscrewed and removed.

there is a separate motor for up/down and another for left/right adjust. The glass is serviceable but not the motors, built into the frame of the mirror body.

My driver's sideview mirror is lose on my 2002 Ford Escort. How do I tighten it myself? I am 59 female, but I fix things myself if I can. Help

If the glass and the backing behind is is loose a replacement mirror will be needed. The door panel inside the car will have to be removed and it is no fun job for a woman. Call around to different body shops for they will have a lower rate than a dealer to repair it
