Re: Sun Visor Problem
ok here it goes.
First take the plastic lens cover off visor light,then take out 2 screws that hold vanity light to visor,light should easily separate from visor,now heres were you got to decide if you have the know how to do the rest,so if you decide you do then take out the 10 amp fuse I have a 2002 hl and if u have owners manual it is labeled dome #16 on drivers side engine compartment.then with the light separated if you have the I-link like I do you will see 2 sets of red and black wires connected two one connector, you have to cut 1 red and 1 black wire make sure you cut the ones going to the top of the visor connected to the shaft not the ones going to the I-link.make sure you don’t cut the wires to close to the top of the visor or to close to the connector because you will have to slice these wire back together,then sit in your drivers seat with visor down and pointing at you use one hand to move visor left to right while the other hand is pulling visor at you off the shaft,the shaft only goes about 4 inches into visor,now with the visor off the shaft you can try what the one guy suggested which was look inside the visor hole with a pair of needle nose pliers squeeze that cheap tin cirlcle tighter then put visor back on shaft to test make sure you put your cut wires back through visor hole you might have to remove some of the tape to get the wire to come down in the visor more easily.I tried this and it did not work for me,you can see the plastic on the metal shaft where the visor goes onto also weres out that’s why buying a new visor may not solve the problem unless you buy the shaft also which connects to your roof.but what I did was put a plastic anchor the kind you put in a wall to hold pictures or something into the visor hole it should fit in their tight.the body of the anchor will go into the visor hole while the lip of the anchor stops on the tin ring in visor,if anchor goes all the way in hole then anchor is to small.once the anchor is in visor hole fish wires in visor hole put visor on shaft by swinging left to right and pushing at same time check to make sure it works like I said it worked perfect for me,connect wires back together either using electrical tape or I used Quick disconnects you can get at radio shack,make sure you don’t crimp the wire together permatetly because if you do this again you don’t want to keep cutting the wires because they aint that long to begin with.then put everything back together.Good luck if you got any more questions e-mail me. Let me know if this worked for you.if you decide you don’t want to cut the wires you still can pull the visor off the shaft just to see what it looks like for yourself just don’t pull to hard or you will brake the wires,you still will have to unscrew the mirror.
