Focus ST-3 mirror not folding

Featured Replies

My focus 2014 mk3 ST-3 passenger side mirror is not folding or adjusting. The drivers side works fine and the puddle light works. Could it just be a fuse? I thought both mirrors worked off the same fuse.

 

Thanks



most likely a faulty change over switch. The selector switch between drivers mirror and passenger mirror is probably the issue.

Thing is it did work briefly for a few days and then stopped again.

kind of confirms a switch problem. Try moving the switch back and forth between driver and passenger mirror and see if it works again even if only for a few seconds

Thanks for the reply.

Had a play around with the switch and no joy, do you think a faulty switch would cause the mirror not to fold upon locking. 
I can hear the mirror click when locking/unlocking also.

Thats kind of two seperate issues you have going on at the same time.

(a) Passenger mirror not adjustable

(b) Passenger mirror not folding/unfolding with the locking system.

This now makes me think you have a problem with the mirror wiring on the passenger door. Take a look at the cable that runs between the door and the door post of the body. I'm not sure but I think on your model the door wiring is plugged in to the door post, disconnect and inspect.

The loss of the mirror common negative would stop all movement, but if I understand you the mirror is trying to fold/unfold, its just that it fails to do so.

Had a new battery fitted today to my Ford Focus ST3 but now I've lost the passenger side windows and mirror, also the not locking that side? fuses are proven to be ok.

Sounds like a wiring issue in the door loom if nothing is getting power. Change of battery likely a coincidence.

Which fuses did you check?  F4 in the rear fusebox is passenger door door module.  It's probably just confused the BCM though.  Disconnect the battery for half an hour to drain and reboot it.
