Wing Mirrors - Do what they like!
« on: December 26, 2013, 04:18:41 pm »
Firstly, Merry Christmas folks, I hope everybody has had a good day yesterday and today and has a cracking end to the year!  :happy2:

But my reason for posting is erratic wing mirrors!   :rolleye:

My car is fitted with electronic folding/heated wing mirrors. They always fold in fine, but very rarely open back up properly, when switching back to the open position once in every 2 operations the passenger side mirror won't come back out. Trying to remember if the drivers has also, but most often it is the passenger side. Possibly related to this, I don't think the heating element on the same side is working/up to much! It will eventually come out after playing with the switch in all positions for a while.
But they do both operate fine from a point of altering the position of the glass.

My question is, are the folding element of the switches know to fail, or is this a common issue that I haven't been able to dig up? Its obviously not the end of the world, but is something that I would like to cure if possible, along with the heating side of it!

Hopefully I haven't rambled and its relatively clear/straight forward, but I am most definitely hung over on pork pie and cocktail sausages, so may not of explained everything to the best of my ability!

Cheers Folks
Rich  :happy2:
