Anyone else out there have a problem with the side view mirror switch
on their 1999-2004 Honda Odyssey? The side view mirror switch on my
wife's 2002 Ody would not move either mirror in the UP direction (left
side or right side mirror) but it would move them left, right, or
down.

When the van was at the Honda dealer this past week getting the
transmission recall service, I had them troubleshoot the problem and
it turned out that the switch was broken (faulty, defective). The
Honda dealer wanted $75 to replace it (parts+labor)!!! I had to laugh,
seemed like way too much money to replace a simple switch. I was
fortunate though that they didn't charge me for troubleshooting the
problem (not that it was too hard to figure out) and I did end up
buying the switch from them (~$23 including tax) and had it replaced
before I left the dealer's lot! It took less than two minutes to
replace it! $75 bucks, what a joke.

Anyhow, the bag that the switch came in said "Japan" or "Made in
Japan" on it but I noticed that the switch I replaced had a "Mexico"
label on it. I was just wondering if there may be a quality issue
involved here? So, I just wanted to know if anyone else had the same
problem. Unfortunately, the van was out of warranty (38,000 miles) so
I had to pick up the bill. I'm still planning on writing Honda to
"complain". Who knows, they may pick up the tab.

Thanks for the feedback.
