Electric wing mirrors playing up.

(1/3) > >>

snapey:
Afternoon,

Has anyone had and issues with the electric mirrors? At the minute when I select left the left mirror operates, however when I select right both mirrors move. If anyone has come across this what did it turn out to be? Switch or wiring? I'm going to pinch the switch from the parents golf later to prove the switch and I bloody well hope it's not the wiring  :scared:.

I had the problem while still under warranty.. Not an uncommon issue. My dealer replaced the motors.

snapey:
Right I've done the following.

- Changed the control switch from a working golf, problem followed over.
- Disconnected the offside motor. Nearside motor worked when both the left and right selectors were moved.
- Swapped the motors over, the problem still follows, i.e. right still controls the left motor as well.

Not typically, if it was a problem with the individual motor I'd have thought that the fault would swap over, i.e. the right controls individually while the left controls both, which wasn't the case.

I've disconnected the battery and I'm going to let the car reset itself but it's not looking good  :scared:

snapey:
Also, the golf I tried the switch from has now started doing it.

I thought it was always like this, adjust the right mirror which adjusts both, then adjust the left on its own, isn't it mentioned in the manual

Its controllable in the highline to enable or disable the feature
