jamiemowatt Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hello, this has probably been posted before but struggled to find anything in the forums. I have a 2008 fiesta ghia mk5. My electric folding wing mirrors have just stopped working. Anyone know if this is a common fault with an easy fix? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 The Mk6 Fiesta powerfold mirrors are known for being unreliable...so much so that Ford stopped fitting them to later mk6s so you're quite lucky to get them on an 08. However usually only one breaks at a time. So I'd check the fuse for them first. If it's not the fuse, have you folded the mirrors manually at all, if one got knocked in by someone else maybe?

yunii Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It could someone else in a carpark tried folding manually to get pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 do you mean they have only stopped folding in when you lock the car with the key fob or also they won't fold in if you use the switch on the inside of the door (where you adjust the mirrors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Can i just point out a 2008 fiesta would be either mk6 facelift or early mk7 but deffo not mk5. But mk7 came titanium as ghia phased out after mk6 .YuniiSent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highnoon1966 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Just started having a problem with my drivers side mirror not folding on my 2008 Fiesta MK6.5 with either the switch or when the alarm is set/unset, passenger one works fine. I removed drivers side mirror from car and plugged it into the wiring plug on passenger side door and it works fine there so I'm thinking maybe a wiring issue to the drivers side door? Any advise would me most welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Don’t know if they have separate fuses for each side, have you checked that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only fuse I can find marked as relating to mirrors is one with picture of mirror tilting on it and that one is ok, is there a second one relating to mirror folding that isn't marked on diagram on glovebox? I thought from looking on internet there might be a relay in R12 slot related to mirror folding but that is empty so I don't know if it is elswhere within the vehicle.

Did you have any luck with this? I have EXACTLY the same problem as you and can't find anything online .. I have an 06 Mk5 ghia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMi384 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I have the fiesta mrk6 07 plate and when I remote lock the car the wing mirrors make a clicking knoise when tryn to fold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavroz Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Has the car been used through the recent frosty, icy weather? If so, if you haven't turned your folding mirrors off there may be a chance they have frozen in position. When they try to fold or unfold, the mechanism that drives them can become damaged... Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulkp Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I don't know if you can turn the folding mirrors "Off" on an 02-08 Fiesta, but what we do in frosty weather with the Fiesta and Fusion that we have, is to lock the car, and the mirrors fold in. Then unlock the car with the remote, and the mirrors will fold out, and the car automatically relocks after about 30 secs with the mirrors still folded out.
