power folding mirrors

Post by mills » Mon Nov 01, 2010 9:08 am

so my power folding mirrors decided to start folding and unfolding themselves last night, on the motorway, and then all the way home :roll: pretty funny at first, but after 5 minutes it started to p!ss me off :evil:

anybody experienced this before :?: if i disconnect the switch on my door card will they stop folding til i get it sorted properly :?:

Worth a shot man, could be as simple as the switch in there being a bit goosed. Pretty sure the switch unit is shared with 4G's too, so any JDM car should provide a new one if that works.

I never had that problem. As soon as I press the button the driver side folds down nice and quick but the passenger side take so long! :roll:

Hope it's a simple fix for you mate! we have to be strong we JDMs are soo cool! 8-)

It does just sound like a dodgy (stuck perhaps?) switch.

Don't know what you mean! Maybe you can get a spare switch from somewhere and try that on for a few days and see if that helps. If it does then you will know for sure its your switch!
