Folding mirror prob

Post by spooner » Thu Feb 13, 2014 7:14 pm

When I lock my car the mirrors dont fold in. When I press the button on the drivers door the passanger one folds in the out again and the drivers one doesnt move at all. Will this problem be down to the micro switches in the mirrors or am I looking at something a bit more serious?

Thanks

Well pressed the button again today and they both folded in :). Are they ment to auto fold when you lock the car or does this need to be programmed in?

Usually needs coding in.  A dealer will do it, or the folks here will help..... :)
