mirrors on strike......

[unsheenashashin]

Evening all.

When I lock my car, I always fold in the mirrors using the fob, never had a problem. Finished work and got in, heard the usual noise of the mirrors unfolding, reversed out my space and saw the passenger mirror was still folded in. Hhhhmm thinks I. So, switched off engine, started again, still nothing. Gets out, locks car and hold button in, drivers side stays unfolded. Unlocked, held button down, windows dropped ok, no movement from either mirror.

Tried switch inside car, no folding action, nor can I adjust either mirror, also assume that they're not heating either. My first guess was blown fuse, checked manual and the mighty Google, can't find which fuse specifically relates to the mirrors. If it's a shared fuse that also controls other stuff, why am I not seeing any other faults? All electric equipment functions as expected (lights, indicator, stereo, wipers, steering wheel controls etc)

Any thoughts?

Cheeeeeeeeers

My passenger side mirror plays up nearly everyday due to the weather doesnt want to fold down, I move it a little with my hands and then use the switch n all is ok

My mirrors regularly "stall" in a variety of positions, and many others have had similar problems. General fix seems to be to replace the mirror motors, though I imagine this could be expensive. As above have you tried physically moving the originally stuck mirror in case it's just frozen?

Thats what I do, physically give it a nudge and then it works. Try WD40 in it by taking the mirror cap off. Worked a treat long time ago

i managed to force it to the open position, but then couldn't adjust either mirror. seemed ok this morning though, might be a wee gremlin, also seem to have an intermittent bulb failure warning..............
