Wing mirror GREMLIN!

RSVI · Feb 7, 2007

Right, this is my first post asking for help. I'll keep it brief

Basicly when the car's put into reverse (P38) the drivers wing mirror goes up and the passengers goes down and they don't go back.

I did a search but didn't find any previous issues.

Please help. The only thing as a temp measure would be to take the fuse out but i can't work out what one it is with out taking out each one at a time.

TIA

its probably the spiders that live behind em, they dint like going backwards

Think yerself lucky, put mine in reverse and the wing mirrors fall off.

Got a text within 5 Min's of posting and said to wife "wahey, they've found the answer already".

Yer right, the two top daily posters get my hopes up

Anyone know what fuse to pull?

Please

I give up???

Why do some people think 4x4 drivers are a bunch of ****s?

Has it got something to do with certain attitudes or personalities?

Come on guys, for people that are regular posters you're not being much help.

Thats 'cos we don't know.

Trainy may be able to help, but don't hold your breath he's at a wine and cheese party tonight.

Sorry guys but i asked a question and felt i got sarcasm back

Not what i expected.

I'll wait for someone to come up with the answer, i know it could take a while

slob · Feb 7, 2007

its not sarcasm, but rest assured if we do come up with the answer you'll be the first to know

RSVI · Feb 7, 2007

RSVI · Feb 9, 2007

For your infomation the problem has been overcome.

If you wish me to explain how i will.

yella · Feb 9, 2007

good on yer, go on then, spill the beans

slob · Feb 9, 2007

go on then that way the next chump er! i mean person that has the same fault will be able to do a search and find it. or you could just keep it to yer self

yella · Feb 9, 2007

ere next time someone poosts the fault, yer can do the "mine does that" thing

RSVI · Feb 9, 2007

God you lot are quick off the mark

Basically i disengage the "auto mirror down" function on reverse.

Not the proper way but it's good enough for the moment.

Turn ignition on but don't start.

Put into reverse

Hold "memory" button on the seat for 3 secs

Dash then shows auto mirror disabled

Easy really.

Till the next one

This also happens to be in the hand book

Did you have any luck with your gremlin? I have found that on my recently aquired 4.6HSE '96 that the driver's wing mirror glass droops (ends up pointing at rear wheel) when parked up. Not critical but slightly annoying as it has to be reset everytime I use it.
Anyone with similar problem/solution?
