Driver and pass side mirror fold based on the microswitch position. I’m pretty sure your microswitch on driver side is jammed closed. The microswitch on pass side goes onto closed position when closing. And opens back up when it hits second groove. I would start there. But drivers side not moving at all, check the motor gets power even.

A new gremlin has emerged. Even though I didn’t verify the actual little motor being faulty or not, when I attempt to adjust the passenger mirror horizontally: *adjusting right only adjusts a tiny bit at a time (no change in characteristics) *adjusting left causes the entire passenger mirror to fold in ![]() So, I’ll head to the pick and pull to grab the micro switches and a driver-side door mirror/window control unit and swap them in. If that doesn’t work then it’s off to ebay/classifieds for a verified working passenger mirror unit with good guts. Last edited by X5M-ISH; 05-18-2019 at 09:01 PM. |

Wtf. What do you mean the mirror folds when adjusting left? Like you press circle left and it folds? Fook. Is that some sort of craziness going on with the wires, or is this a fried switch? Maybe your door switch is fried. See if you can get your hands on one and try it out.

That’s exactly what I mean. Push the circle adjuster on the driver side for a leftward adjustment and the whole mirror swings in! Lmao! Pushing the circle on the right arrow does not swing the mirror back out.
![]() I need someone local who will let me try their door switch. Cheapest used one on ebay is $60. I would like to verify a switch before buying one (or buying a used mirror assembly). |

I wonder if the manual fold mirror frame will work on my 2006 x5. We had a 2001 x5 with manual mirrors and it was great. No problems with the mirrors.
I reset my mirrors today, they were getting floppy. Seems like we have problems with the mirrors when we use the power fold. Once I got the mirrors set for driving I disabled the power fold feature. I can still adjust the mirrors for driving. No more folding with the switch.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I started having the problem of the electric folding mirrors folding in and then unfolding right away. Looked at some youtube fixes and pulled the microswitch on the left side. As in the video the lever for the switch had come off. I pinched it a little and put it back together and then put it back in, but still have the same problem. I watched it operating and the cam has the switch open when the mirror is parked either open or closed and closes the switch when operating between the two. So I pulled the switch out an operated it manually as it cycled as it should be operating. Still having the same problem. I suspect maybe the switch has gone bad? Anyone have a source for these switches? The only thing on the one I have is the manufacturer's name and no part number.

No luck on switches. I'm looking for them too.

It's not likely the switch contacts are the problem. Make sure BOTH (sides) switches are working properly.

I didn't realize there were switches on both sides. The videos only talk about the left side. I'll check the right side. Thanks!

This is apparently how I fixed it many moons ago: Quote:
I do recall buying a number of microswitches from digikey but I can't remember if any of them were suitable replacements. |
