Viano/Vito - Electric Wing/Door Mirror not Folding

[MinionBob]

A bit of a different folding electric mirror problem..

When I lock, only the driver mirror folds (not the passenger)....BUT...I can fold/unfold both passenger and driver mirrors electronically from inside the vehicle using the buttons.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

I have tried x2 keys and fiddled with the folding mirror dash settings, to not avail.

Thanks in advance

Just a little bump to this thread to see if there are any takers..

My guess is a confused SAM,
have you tried a battery disconnect reset?

 

[MinionBob]

That is the only thing I am yet to do..I hate loosing all the presets/stored info! I reckon it will be tomorrows job..

You would need to run windows / sunroofs open / closed. I'm not sure there is much else to be restored.

Another guess / thought, are these fed from the door controllers?

Well after disconnecting the battery - it gets worse!

Both mirrors still open close on the interior button but now neither mirror will close on the keyfob (the feature is active in the dashboard - I have cycled it on/off a few times to no avail ). Tried different keys too..

Fixed!

Shortly after my post #6 both mirrors started working again. I'm pretty sure that the dash setting, for folding mirrors at least, only become activated after you start and/or possibly drive the vehicle: I had just been turning them on and off via "ignition-on" an nothing else.

It looks like the battery reset 'killed' both mirror folding functions, then in my persistent fiddling I turned mirror folding off, started the car, turned the engine off, activated folding mirrors, started the car and viola, folding mirrors back again!

I have same issue today after reset battery, do the sliding doors not working. So after reset driver mirror not folding only passenger mirror. Hope your way to fix that issue.

With the doors closed try puling fuses 27 & 28.

Did it work @Aleksandr ?

 

[Aleksandr]

Yes, it was solved my problem, thanks a lot!
And now it’s working perfectly.

@MinionBob have you use original multimedia or you have changed to something else?
I have purchased one from China so I can use with CarPlay, but I face one problem during installation. So I wander, maybe you have done some changes in your van already?

I'm using and original head unit.

I did try to fit an Android unit, but I have air suspension and it constantly brought up an error light on the dash, so i returned it.

I don't think that the head unit impacted the folding mirrors, but I never specifically checked or noticed to be honest.
