- hi, I wanted to show what I have found to almost always be the culprit to power fold mirrors that do not fold in or stay folded in and or mirrors that's are sloppy/floppy on their door bases.
floppy: worm gear is stripped, or motor metal housing is broken open OR
mirror folds in the immediately back out: limit switch metal tab is missing (wiring to limit switch could be cut/broken too over time)
Good explanation on how these mirrors fail. Thanks
My passenger mirror makes a clicking sound and doesn’t fold anymore. Thanks for your info.
Hi, Do you know where I can get a working driver's side motor to buy? Can you sell me one of yours? even if it's broken? I am rebuilding my mirror but did not mark how the motor is situated. I need to figure out how to put it back together. Thanks...
Sorry for late reply. I Assume and hope you got yours fixed.
How about when it over fold? Any ideea? Thanks
It's most likely the limiter switch.
I'm not sure what you mean by over.fold. you mean as it folds back too far or in towards the door too much? I've never seen that problem that wasn't a floppy motor . The motor worm gear breaks open the metal housing causing this flop/sloppy play.
