electric mirrors having a mind of their own........

Post by the shreksta » Sun Apr 24, 2016 5:29 pm

hey guys

my 2004 e53 has a rather strange thing happening with the fold in mirrors. i pull up outside home and press the button to fold them in and they do...........then straight away they fold back out, so i press again and only 1 folds in and back out and then both do the same again.................its very annoying. after so many presses nothing happens at all so i just leave it

also when i select reverse the passenger side mirror glass goes up and down really fast making it impossible to see where im reversing.

any ideas?

Have a look here.

The reverse mirror issue means you need to get behind the mirror and get all the dirt out.
