power mirror switches scenario

hey folks, i drive a new international day cab, with power widow, mirror, door lock switches on the driver's side door armrest area

the way it's setup, we end up with driver reports of mirrors that go totally out of adjustment (or anywhere in between) because it's so easy to hit those mirror adjustment switches inadvertently while driving, or while using the power window switches

there is a left, right toggle switch with the middle being off, wich is all there is to turn the adjustment switch off

next thing you know, you're looking at a mirror that could be pointing anywhere

regardless of the above, i have suggested that we could just disconnect the power window switches, until we can agree on a solution, (secondary safety switch, cover on the primary safety switch that could be flicked up etc) and just adjust the mirrors manually like any truck that has the manual mirror setup

no one is sure if by manually adjusting the main window mirrors (via typical finger pressure), the electric, or power windows setup can be damaged?

mechanic mentioned gears and stuff but i figure there's an override (like perhaps a clutch) that allows manual adjustments and it's no big deal

then there is possibly that new vehicle warranty scenario, in that any mods then voids potential warranty issues, as in with the power mirrors system

 

talked with a dealership and the service dept said there is no issue adjusting the mirrors manually, however, disconnecting the switches might trigger an engine light,

service manager wasn't in to confirm

 

easiest fix'd be a toggle switch cover, only prob then is you'd have a few truckers that would have to agree on something

service manger said unplugging might trigger an engine light and might even have to reprogram the computer involving the cat,

he's checking with higher ups

tried to post some pix but suppose maybe you need a few posts first

some switch setups are way better than others, a slide type (for the L-off-R part) would be way better here rather than a toggle/rocker type that just needs to be pressed lightly

placement alone could be great for most, then a tall dude with long arms can come into the picture,

service manger also said the switch has a circuit board, so not even just dealing with a switch here,

i ain't driving it without a fix
