Hi all,

I have treated myself to a new car Fiesta ST (2007) and it has a couple of issues with it.

The dials on the dashboard do not come to life straight away when the ignition is on, the dash back lights come on but takes the dials between 5-10 seconds to kick in. The car will start with this issue but it doesn't seem right and I would like to correct it.

The second fault is that the drivers window will not go down all the way, and it sound like its struggling on the way back up.

And the final issue is with the electric folding wing mirror on the drivers side. As I lock the car they fold away but drivers side mirror closes then carrys on trying to close and click 3-4 times, its like a limit switch or sensor isnt being detected to tell it that the mirrors closed.

Has anyone had similar issues and has anyone have any solutions/suggestions.

Thanks

Callum

Hi. Can't help you with the first issue but the mirror clicking seems to be quite common. My 2011 does it occasionally and it's only the drivers side. Had seen others on here mention it too so I wouldn't worry about that one.

And I would guess you need to get access to the window mechanism and lubricate it. I would imagine it's dried up, or the motor is failing?

Thanks for the reply, yeah I am a bit stumped to the dash delay but its nothing major it still works, I am going to my local scrap yard to get 2 replacement wing mirrors, the non drivers side has damaged plastic, and for the price they are asking I cant complain :). I have stripped the door on fiestas before, (fitting speakers into my old car) I will investigate at the weekend new motor from the scrapyard is only £10 and £15 each for the mirrors. Just a bit confused on the dash delay don't know what would cause it I'm no electrician :(
