Passenger side mirror
Hey guys, i have just noticed that my passenger side mirror doesnt fold in, if i push it in it will fold out but not the other way around...... could it be the motor? or could it be a fuse or something.... please help

I hear ya buddy.
I got the exact same problem!! Wont fold inwards but will fold back outwards. And also I've noticed that if i manually fold it in it will return to it's normal position ie. out quicker than my drivers side mirror. Does everyones fold out at the same speed??
I wanna know a fix too because the sound it makes when i manually push it in hurts my ears!

stripped
Sounds like it is either stripped, misalligned or the motor is not working in one direction. Probably not saying anything you dont already know im afraid.
Best take it apart and have a look.

Lolz. Even that seems too hard for me to comprehend.

Another tip not in the DIY.
When at this point-

Bend the contacts upwards by 1 to 2 mm where they meet the board. With usage, vibrations, etc. these contacts can bend downwards giving less contact on the tracks, if any at all.
You'd be surprised how many problems with mobile phones are caused by using the same kinda contacts.
