Power Folding Mirrors got Stuck

[Vitonotarnicola]

I manually unfolded my side mirrors after they got frozen on a very cold day.  Now the auto fold feature does not work.  Did I break something?  What can I do?

WRT your questions, do the mirrors fold and unfold if you use the door-mounted switch?  If so, try the reset procedure as outlined in your owners guide:

To reset the power-fold feature, use the power-folding mirror control to fold and unfold the mirrors. You may hear a loud noise as you reset the power-folding mirrors. This sound is normal. Repeat this process as needed each time the mirrors are manually folded

If that doesn't work, check fuse #25 in the passenger compartment panel.  Other than that, try to get the car into a place where the ambient temperature is above freezing.  It's not likely that this could happen, but check the settings in the menu to make sure "Auto-Fold"  setting is still enabled.

Hi Tito. Anytime you manually fold/extend the power folding mirrors, you must reset them.

 

As drolds1 mentioned, the reset procedure is outlined in your Owners Manual. Once you perform that procedure, they should work fine.

 

Let us know how you make out and good luck.
