Magolina,



Most cars have a pull out panel near the driver's knee area under the fascia. Right hand side of steering column.



Take a look there for a panel if you find the fuse box there should be a schematic diagram either in the lid or in the owner's handbook.

That doesn't sound like a fuse! If a fuse was gone it wouldn't be trying to do anything, having no power. sounds more like a solenoid.

Either that or the switch is stuck, as groucho says the fuse would stop it operating but if it is constantly clicking it sounds like it is trying to reposition which should only happen if the switch is held down in one particular position.

I assume you want to find the fuse to pull it so the mirror will stop trying to drive.



I am not familiar with the Rav 4 but on a previous Toyota my wife owned you could pop the switch out of the console and pull the plug off the back connection. This should achieve the same thing

Take it to the small auto electricians over the road from Mollie's cafe in Girne. They sorted my Rav 4 problem out in no time. Nice people too.
