fladavid Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The door mirror fold button is not working on my recently bought 55 plate 2.0 Ghia. Looking through the handbook I can't see a fuse specifically related to this feature so wondered if anyone had any ideas about what the problem might be? Would it be worth spraying electrical contact cleaner into the door switch to see if that helps? Thanks. Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmetallica Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 check the switch.or the wiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fladavid Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Just sprayed electrical contact cleaner into the switch and it hasn't worked. Assuming there isn't a separate fuse for this function would it be wise the buy a new switch as my next course of action? Unless there is a way of testing a switch, as a novice I have no idea.

mrmetallica Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 what i would do is unplug the switch and short the 2 wires that fold the mirror .if it folds you know its not the switch.if it doesnt then something else. there should be four ish wires 2 for the led in the switch and 2 for the fold .you might be able to get a diagram some where to show wwhat wires do what. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JW1982 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 On the Focus MK2 the folding function of the mirrors is controlled by a seperale folding module. If the switch is working properly there is a big chance the folding module is broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fladavid Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Strangely enough I get a bleep and red light blink on the dash when I press the button and if the engine is running I get nothing. So I'm now guessing that perhaps the switch is working to get that bleep and light and perhaps it might be something else. I take it the folding mirrors should fold in with the engine running or parked up with the ignition on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fladavid Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Where is this folding module on the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
