W209 Wing Mirror Folding Problem

[KillerHERTZ]

Hi Guys,

For the past week or so my wing mirrors have not been able to fold out, only fold in.

Took them apart today (Cheers TV for the WIS) and all the mech and connectors appear to be working fine.

If I manually move them out slightly and press the Open button it tries to fold them in again.

See the video below, it shows the motor inside moving the same way for 1st open, then 2nd closing.

Any ideas? new Switch perhaps?

I would think the controller in the door, you should have a separate fuse that door, it may be worth pulling out and putting back in, its the first thing that I would do.

Thanks for suggestion, its happening to both doors however. Both failed same time

Another thing to add, past month or so its taken 30secs while repeately pressing button before it worked. This week it failed

OK so its the same button for both doors so could be the switch then as you thought, there is nothing else in common to both doors

You wouldn't happen to have a WIS for removing the mirror dash controls would you?

I can print it off for you

I can removed the connector from behind the dash, but not the switch unit...

I will print it off later in the say,,,,still keep thinking that if either door controller was locked up it could cause this, there is a fuse for both sides.

I would still pull each one and try to see if the other side is OK with a fuse out
