Hi all,
I have a curious probem that I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on. I have a 2004 model with the first revision of the auto folding mirrors fitting (I believe). Since I've owned it, the mirrors have always worked with the central locking via keyfob, unfolding when unlocking and vice versa.
The day after I cleaned the car, I noticed the drivers mirror would not open fully when unlocking the car, it would move perhaps half an inch and stop. The passenger mirror works as it should. I've found that if I apply very little pressure to the mirror when it's unfolding, it will open our fully, and this is by giving it a very light bit of persuasion. It has always closed fine by itself, but slower that it used to be. The other issue which I believe to be related is that the keyfob will no long fold and unfold either mirror and instead seems to work when I insert or remove the key from the ignition, so I'm a bit stumped as to whether the motor on the mirror has gone or whether the aftermarket folding parts have packed in!
Has anyone known of a mirror motor going faulty?
Would be great to hear if anyone's had the same issue.
Thanks,
Jez
