I have my mirrors set to fold/unfold on locking/unlocking the car. No issues with it for ages.
Yestarday, my drivers side mirror only partly folded in when locked and on unlock it wouldn't do anything. The passenger side seems to work fine, albeit with a slight delay while it seems to wait to see what the drivers side is doing. The drivers side seems to make a bit of a noise, as if it were trying to do something but not all of the time.
Since it is unusable foled in, I can manually move the mirror so it either clicks into place fully folded in or effectively pointing forwards (see pics). At the moment it's in between those 2 positions so that the mirror is on the right place to use whilst driving but it isn't clicked into place and will probably wobble slightly when driving.
Electrics still work for adjustment.
I've turned off the lock/unlock fold and will be able to at least drive with mirrors. I do need to sort it though.
I've read another post with similar issues but it didn't really answer my question.
I'm not keen to start pulling door cards off etc. Is this likely to be something popped out of place or a dead/dying motor and I need to replace?
Can I take the mirror cover off to have a look or will this not tell me anything?
Open to any ideas before I have to take the plunge with new parts etc.
Thanks.
