Hello,
I'm writing because my 2014 Audi A3 8V suddenly stopped folding the passenger side wing mirror.
I searched the forum and found some similar posts but I didn't see anyone who has posted a solution or the cause of the problem.
Anyways, the mirror motor always worked perfectly until some time ago while in the parking lot, I noticed that only the driver door folded when I locked the car.
I tried moving the passenger mirror by hand to the closed position and trying the sequence to unfold, but it moves freely by hand until I manually move it back to the open position where it "pops in" and stays there.
After this, I had a few situations where it was intermittent and worked a couple of times, but for the last couple of months, I haven't seen it work at all.
Note that everything else on that door and mirror works perfectly e.g. electronically moving the mirror, heating mirror, indicator...Only mirror folding is the problem.
I scanned the car with OBD11 and I get 6 faults for the passenger door and they are the following:
Has anyone had similar faults with this and what should I check?
Just to check the wiring or just go and check the motor?
Is there any way I could measure the voltage going to the motor when I remove the door panel so I don't have to remove the mirror glass and cap to measure directly at the motor?
I have had a bad experience with removing the mirror glass as I have broken a few before so I want to avoid it if completely necessary.
Thanks, everyone in advance for any help or suggestion.
Best regards
