Folding mirror problem

Folding mirror problem

Postby PARR » Tue Sep 04, 2012 10:39 pm

I have a 1998 model RF2 with electric folding mirrors.
Yesterday the electric folding of the near-side one ceased, but if it is manually folded it will open out again electrically.
All the other electric functions work - angle adjustment in all directions. (not heated though - that button works the 'folding' mechanism.
I did try reseating the connection behind the switch, but no effect.
Has any one else had any experience of this? Does anyone know where the connectors are (other than behind the switch)? I fear that they may be inside the door panel and or under the N/S wing!

Ditto right side - I managed to find a switch in Canada on ebay.ca, and can probably get a relay from the same source, but the mirrors or the actuators are about £100 each. A lot for a vehicle worth probably only £3000.
If the new switch makes no difference I'll stick with manual folding and mechanised opening.
