Cayenne 955 door mirror

[JonathanE]

Help!

The driver's door mirror on my 2003 Cayenne no longer folds or unfolds when I turn the switch on the door pillar. The passenger side mirror does fold/unfold, but only after a 30 second delay. There is no sound from the driver's side mirror (so I don't think it's a question of broken gear teeth or anything like that).

I've changed the fuse (not listed in the handbook, but apparently it's fuse 49 in the driver's side fusebox which is just listed as 'interior mirror' but which I'm told also cover the door mirrors). I've also changed the switch itself for a second hand unit from a reliable source. Neither of these changes made any difference.

Any ideas? The driver's mirror can still be folded in and out manually, but I don't want to get my hand wet in the rain!

Thanks for any suggestions.

My garage originally thought it was the "window motor door control unit". So I bought a used one on eBay for around £80. When they tried to install it everything went cray (headlights flashing etc). So they took it out and put my old one back in - and the mirrors now fold and unfold as they should (except that the passenger's one doesn't dip when reversing, but I think I know how to fix that).

So my suggestion is 'move stuff around' and see if it helps.

Good luck!

Yes if you select reverse gear and the mirror switch is set to the passenger position (the macbook probably gives more details).
