Greg1985 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Hi all. I have a ford focus 2013 recently my drivers side power folding mirror stopped working along with the mirror control button. I bought a whole new unit from Ford and I've replaced it. The button that controls the mirror is now working but the power folding mirror is still not working. Left side is fine. Any ideas?

May seem silly, but you're positive you bought a 'powerfold' door mirror? 100s of non folding ones for sale... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 They may be out of sync. Try electronically closing the good one, then manually close the new one, then press the open button to open both together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah tried that still no luck must be a problem with the wiring 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Hi Greg, there is a way to 'test' your mirror and the wiring but you're going to have to get the toolbox out. Disconnect and remove the door mirrors from BOTH doors. Then plug the drivers mirror in on the passenger side and vice versa with the passenger mirror. Of course you will need someone to help the hold the mirrors while you operate the switch. If the mirror on the passenger side door works and folds then at least you know the new mirror is working. Try the mirror plugged in on the drivers door and if it is a wiring fault then it won't fold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
