Title: electric folding mirrors
Post by: flyingf15h on November 30, 2013, 04:46:14 pm

My folding mirrors seem to have gone mad. If you set to fold the drivers folds passenger side doesn't.  When I put to open the drivers mirror takes an age then 'wakes up'
Any ideas or where to begin with fault finding?

Don't know if it's of any relevance, but I had similar problems years ago. Took it back to the dealer under warranty and they knew about the issue. It just needed a software update and that fixed it.

is this with the engine running or just the ignition?

It seems not to work when either engine is running and when ignition on.
