MK7 power folding mirrors question

Featured Replies

Hi

I have a question about power folding mirrors. I was checkingthe fuse box underneath the glove box and notice I have the right fuse box with one of the relays, however I have noticed the second relay is not there, but also the input to put the relay is not there either. Does anyone know why and how i can get passed this? 

Hope that makes sense.



Are you trying to fit powefold mirrors? Or is something wrong with yours? I don't get what you meant with

I understand that, i know what parts i need. What i am saying is in the fuse box i only have one relay and no slot to put the other one.

Not sure if you're goosed at this point then mate. If you've no wiring harness then not only will your mirrors not get power from the fuse box, but your ecu won't know what to do (even after programing). I've just been told to check for a certain number of wires in the door harness, and if it doesn't match then you can't do it, however I probably haven't looked into it as much as you, so could be wrong.

Yet another license to print money. Power fold mirrors are almost bound to cause probs, either with cold weather or with extreme use. A built-in money maker.

My advice - turn off auto fold and only use when needed.

 

I'm sure that there s a tutorial on this or a video on utube.

Be good if i could fold one in at one time as would be a massive help for me.

I have seen some video on fitting folding mirrors,could be YouTube a while ago.

Hi there abit of info for you powerfold mirror don't run on grey relays they run on gem modules that are situated ok both driver and passenger doors there called gem modules they are at the top nearer to to the front if you check the wiring loom from your mirror that comes in and check both sides of the plug if there is 10 wires in either side then you can directly replace mirrors and activate.through forscan on extended license if you hav only 4-6 wires On it or you don't have gem modules then it can't be done
