Hazard
In power-operated rear-view mirrors, inadequate protective circuitry may result in the protective fuse failing to blow if a short circuit or similar fault occurs in the wiring at the mirror position adjustment switch. This can cause the wiring to overheat and, in worst-case scenarios, lead to fire.
