Hi!
I have a Td5 ES with satanic electric folding mirrors!! They fold in and out very often and sometimes persistently!
It started a few weeks ago after a long run when I came into traffic or slowed right down etc. but I don't know if this is relevant to the issue.
It not seems to be doing it a lot, regardless of speed. I've read a couple of bits regarding a microswitch or something but have no idea as there's not much out there tbh.
The mirrors work and fold together, fold back in when folded out on the switch but they sometimes don't fold at all on the switch. I really cant detect a pattern other than when they start messing around they keep doing it for most of the journey but even then they sometimes surprise me and stop! Also, they do it for a few seconds after switching off and locking the car!
Its really getting quite ferociously irritating but worse still, really unsafe. I've even considered swapping them for standard non folding ones but they can be handy in tight spaces etc so I really would like to fix and keep them.
If any one has any thoughts then id be seriously grateful regardless as I'm pulling my hair out now. I've got to travel from the midlands to Minehead in it with a big twin axle box trailer at the weekend and I'm working away until Thursday night so time really isn't on my side.
Thanks in advance
Tom
