Automatic wing mirrors not working

Featured Replies

Me again! I’ve been eyeing up a new mirror on eBay. £75 on the nose just as suggested. However, I haven’t done anything about replacing the mirror just yet. My mirrors have randomly started to fold again when my vehicle is locked! They haven’t worked for weeks! I checked all of the vehicle settings as described, it definitely wasnt that. Also the manual fold button pushed only the passenger side to fold in, the driver’s side stayed put. I’ve been pushing them both in manually. 
 

I’ve now remembered that I had exactly the same problem a couple of months ago, but for a much shorter time period. They started working again shortly after, until my previous post a few weeks ago. 
 

why so temperamental? I was fairly sure it was a motor problem as described above. Is it possible that the motor is on the way out but not fully kaput? Or is it likely to be something else entirely?

It might just be that the driver's side mirror had got stiff and has eased up since you've been folding it manually. 

Ultimately I still think it'll need replacing but I'd leave it while it's currently working.  :smile:

Hi, 

I own a 2013 Zetec Fiesta and suddenly my automatic wing mirrors have started to stop working. My driver side has completely stopped working all together and is folded in but stuck and won’t budge even when I unlock my car or lock it but my passenger one is still working. Could anyone help me on how this could be fixed?

This advice and guidance has helped my figure out what happened when the automatic mirrors folded in randomly and wouldn't open again. I must have knocked the manual fold knob. Anyway, used the manual page that's been suggested and low and behold it flipping worked. Thank you!!!!

 

Saved me a expensive trip to the garage and a call out. (lol I'm still figuring out what else my car does, technology isn't my strong point and you would think people my age would be tech savvy ) any future advice when I need help I'll come back to this website.

Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I've got a brand new ford fiesta titanium 1.6 tdci which has been brilliant so far. I've had it 4 weeks. However, tonight all of a sudden, the automatic wing mirrors are not folding in or out when unlocking/locking the car. Has anyone else had this problem or have i done something wrong? I'll take it down my ford dealer and get it sorted, but just wondered if I'd overridden something somehow.

Cheers,

Lee
