fuse for the little button to close/open side mirror

[NYCSterling]

I am unable to open and close my side mirrors.
I had changed the motor for my passenger side to manual due to the loose shaky issue and its been fine since.
I was still able to open and close the driver side to get it tight since that is now also loose.

The little button is not doing anything anymore.
Is there a fuse i can look at and where is it located?
I need to open and close it to make it tight again...

I might just need to take out the motorized switch and make it manual also...

I wanna know this too

took both my mirrors apart to try to get them working properly and now only my driver side mirror adjusts but not my passenger side and both mirrors don't close

hey Vein - this chap i know has a shop behind Shea stadium and he replaces these motors to the manual ones. Says he does them all the time... since the motorized ones always messes up.

I did my passenger one since it was loose and I was never able to fix.
He took out the broken motor and replaced it with a manual one.

I gave up the luxury of having automatic folding mirrors...but gained on safety that the damn mirrors are fixed and solid when driving.

I may do the driver side also since the little button is now unresponsive.

so far the tings i have given up:

- my heated seat. heating element burnt a hole in the leather and its too exp to fix.
- folding mirrors...

i can live with those

My DS mirror took a smak while parked years ago. Since then, it has some minor play that got worst. It took 7+ years since that smack, and the gears gave up the ghost....Ordered it thinking it was $350'ish, turned out to be about $5+.

I find the motorized mirrors InValuable on any car for narrow spaces. There are times, where you are squeezing between a double parked car/truck on a narrow street, and the retractable mirrors makes or breaks the allowance of letting you squeeze by or wait....

He hit me up $60 to switch to manual... he had the manual part handy and he said it did it many times... and he did a good job.

BTW - I have the same issue with my passenger sear. Went in to BMW for the mat sensor recall and came out with the annoying ding after a minute of driving. Seems like they made it too sensitive?
