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!

lol dude this is exactly what happens to me, it fold out a lot quicker then the driver side one.

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.

hmmm is there anyway to dismantle the Mirror unit? =x

can be done. Cant remember where I saw the details - try the workshop manual

I found this write up on how to fix it here on FTOA.

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

Wow, someone did a search on here! Im awarding you a gold star Chum

lols finally someone uses the search

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.

w00t nice it works again wahahaha

What did you do to sort it out?

followed the guide and bent the contacts up and put it back together and it worked
