ELECTRIC MIRROR FAULT..WONT FOLD ON LOCKING/OPENING

Featured Replies

The modules are on a metal mounting rack. you can't slide the brown one off until the blue module is removed first.

Another total waste of time!…. Took out the glovebox, not a sign of this elusive module…looks like I have gotta remove the P-side dashboard to access it!!😡

Surely a 2016 Mondeo doesn't use a separate mirror relay like that?  The later Focus mirror folding is built into the door modules/GEM.

Hi…tomsfocus…I bought the brown relay that I was told was needed…I paid £17.50 for it….first I am told that I can access this module under the engine fuse box. Then I am told that it’s behind the glove compartment…it is nowhere to ge found in either location…now you are talking about a possible door location…the mirrors adjust fine, it’s just the wing mirror units that don’t fold in/out when locking/unlocking the car….using the DS wing mirror buttons do not manually do it either

I don't have much knowledge on the latest Mondeo I'm afraid.  I would be surprised if it used a relay like that though, I think that's for the Mk3.  

It's the door modules that control the powerfold on later cars, along with the central locking and one-touch windows etc.  They're a lot more than just a simple relay so I don't think that's the fault with yours.  Having said that, I'm not sure what the fault is!  Fuse does seem the most likely culprit as neither mirror works, on the button or the remote.   

You can manually fold the mirrors against the motors without damage.  I've even had one of mine bashed in on a country road and it worked fine after unfolding it.  I think you've already tried it but fold both either in or out fully (making sure both are in the same position), then press the folding button and listen for any motor sounds.

Do these power fold mirrors run on a motor?… or is it just fuses and relays/modules.

Having my mobile mechanic coming round tomorrow to run a diagnostic on fault codes on the folding mirror door control, to solve this issue….looks like the module I was advised to buy, is of no use. Apparently my car, a MK5 does not use this component, it is for a MK3..no wonder I could not find it on my car here…time and money wasted. Will see if I can return it for a refund.

Don't want to swamp you with more possibilities(but I will).  Have you thought that maybe the harness coming from the drivers door might be shorting  out(frayed or broken wires), from constantly opening and closing, they would be flexing many thousand of times.  Of course they are behind a rubber boot and can't really be seen. I had this on an Audi a4 a few years ago and the electrical guys found them through diagnostics, which I'm sure you're mobile guy should be able to tell you.

I had it sorted on Friday…. My mobile mechanic put it on diagnostics…no fault codes where detected…he just reset it and it has been working fine ever since.
