Wing mirrors !

[FloRida]

Hi Folks, question re Citroen DS3 2012.

Both my wing mirrors don’t fold out - I can adjust glass using controls, I can manually push out and then they fold back. They just won’t open with key or button.

Did have to change the passenger door recently after buying it from a scrap yard, but plugged all connectors in.

Driving me mad!

Thank you

Have they ever folded in and out normally?

Thanks, yes they were fine until after I changed the door. I thought maybe it was the wiring loom so I switched back to my original loom just in case.

I looked at the drivers switch just in case I was getting a 14v reading on one of the pins which goes to 0v when I pressed the wing mirror fold button…however as I understand it I should the get 14v on the pin directly underneath but I got nothing…my tester lights up red which then flickers when I pressed the switch but no voltage reading.

Possibly the mirror on the passenger door is faulty if you did not put your old one back. You could try folding it manually and then see if it opens on the door switch if not already tried.

Thank you for the response.

I used my existing mirror in the new passenger door.

However I used the wiring loom that came with the door, but chatGPT has suggested that wiring loom are different for a car with and without folding mirrors, so perhaps the loom I’m using doesn’t support unfolding…think I might have to switch the wiring loom out (I had thought they were all the same)…
