Mirror doesn't fold

[miko]

Hi guys, about two months ago my pasenger side mirror didnt fold when I lock the car, I tray it manually but nothing hapened, disconect 12v battery but nothing happened. Last week I was at service and they check but there was no error and mirror fold...for one day, next day mirror dint fold when car is locked and now driver side also doesn't fold.
In service centre they told me that I am not the first one with this problem but they don't know solution. They opened warranty but I don't know what is next??
Did any of you have same problem??

Assuming you have the Exclusive as the Excite doesn't have auto folding mirrors.
Have you tried resetting them using the internal switch ?
Put the switch in the central position and press down and hold for a couple of seconds, let go then press down again to unfold. They should then fold on lock and unfold on unlock.

Did they ever squeak when they were moving?

I'm having a similar problem, but it's intermittent, probably 1 time in 10, ish. only the drivers side. had it in the garage last week, they stripped it down, couldn't find anything. It did it again twice this weekend. going to book it back in, it seems mechanical rather than electrical.

I’ve had the same sorts of problems with both of the last two cars that I have had, a MB B180 and a Skoda Yeti. Once or twice in the Yeti, the mirrors just refused to fold out from the ‘in’ position. Jiggling around, locking and unlocking the cars cleared the problems every time but a bit annoying. I wonder if this is a well-known industry wide problem?

With the ZS EV utilising items from the VW/Audi Asia parts bin then perhaps the Yeti had the same mirrors?

mine (albeit a '5) sounded like they were struggling this morning, I've turned that off until it warms up a bit...

@Kithmo Trayed but nothing
@Alb No fhey didnt

I dont think that it is some mechanical fail, it stoped folding and when the car was in service it starts to fold, they didnt do any repair.

My is happening the same, I told the service department about the problem, and the check, don't find what is wrong,.
But they place an order for an new one for replacement through the warranty. I am still waiting for the part arrive in the UK.

Yes, booked in, waiting for parts, they said a week, we'll see. I'll try and find out what the issue is once it's changed, but I feel they won't care what the problem is, just 'bit off, bit on'

Last week pasinger side mirror start folding, driver side no, now one week later doesnt fold any more??. Service center doesnt replay on my email...

 

[Alb]

Could it be ambient temperature related?

My ZS exclusive did this today, drivers side wouldn't fold when locking so after several attempts I folded it manually then it worked fine? - see what tomorrow brings.

That's certainly a possibility

 

[Cocijo]

Could it be related to the wiring loom recall?

Electrical Glitch??

Hi all just had a a couple of issues with my ZS EV, firstly the mirrors stopped retracting on locking then the drivers side window controls stopped working. Mirrors working again but not drivers window control, the light on the control is on so power getting there I assume?? Any ideas from...

I had something similar, plus a driver's side window that was stuck down. All was intermittent, but worse when wet. The MG garage said it was a water damaged reversing sensor. I guess that all the parts are on the same data bus and the water damaged sensor was degrading the CAM bus signal. Anyhow, sensor replaced and no problems since.

 

[BruceT]

Could it be ambient temperature related?

It certainly could be but I first had it happen, or at least noticed it, about 3 months ago. It wasn't cold then. I thought it was a one-off then, but it seems to be more and more often now, but still intermittent

Thanks for that tip it fixed my folding/non folding mirrors, where did you find that info I searched the handbook without success..

My ZS trophy developed same problem after 9 months driving. Only driver side. Looks like something faulty in design. I tried to adjust the driver side mirror then it works. But it happens again later.
