Yep - most times the folding issue is that one (or both) of the micro-switches has jumped out of it's mount location. A small dab of hot melt glue in the correct spot (to hold the switch in place) and a little white lithium grease on the cam and you're good for years of operation.

Sometimes you'll also find the actuator lever on the micro-switch has been torn off or bent - this results from attempted folding operations AFTER the switch has popped out of location and the mirror cam jams the lever.
