Ds5 Wing mirror

[lee raeside]

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help...

The passenger wing mirror on my Citroen DS5 is no longer working. The motor still makes a noise but the mirror won't move. I've moved it manually, but don't want to do that too much and cause more damage.
Does anyone have any idea on how this issue could be fixed, or is this a trip to the garage?

Thanks,
Lee

Hi Lee

Sometimes the mirrors can become disengaged from the actual mechanical position to the electrical position. With the car unlocked where the mirrors are supposed to be unfolded, manually move the mirror to the folded position.

Then operate the remote locking 4-5 times to see if it will re-engage. If not, then the plastic motor gearing may be worn down, necessitating a replacement.

Thanks for the tip Marc. I tried and it didn't work, so it's a trip to the garage then...

I've just had my passenger wing mirror stop folding - drivers side is fine. There is the very tiniest of movements when it should be folding or unfolding, which suggests to me a motor is trying to move things but if the motor is operating, it is very quiet - nothing like the noise from the drivers side. The passenger mirror unit also feels a little wobbly compared to the drivers side which is rock solid. I've tried spraying the units hinge with silicon spray. I can still adjust mirror position. Is it sounding like a replace the whole wing mirror job or is it possible to take things apart, figure what's broken and fix it?
