2011 s max indicator and mirror problem

Hi all just wondering if anyone can help with this problem. The indicator on drivers side wing mirror works intermittently and when it does the puddle light also flashes causing a dim indicator on the mirror. Also not sure if this is connected but the electric mirror is not working correctly. The mirror only moves in and out using up and down position and nothing using in and out. The near side however works perfectly. Any ideas.

many thanks

Colin

    Hi Colin,

    I've just fitted a new mirror and have this problem. Did you find out the cause / solution?

    Hi Colin, Does the indicator speed change at all when the fault is occurring?

    Possible to check codes with ForScan and a tool?

    Could be a relay issue, a wiring issue, a switch/stalk issue or even a bulb issue.

    Case of ruling stuff out.
