power folding mirror problem
« on: March 18, 2009, 10:37:21 PM »

Hi, having problems with both power folding mirrors on 2005 cherokee, neither will operate and drivers side wont even stay open ( blows backin wind ). both were repaired whilst under warranty. can they be repaired without buying full units ?
I use towing mirrors which has probably caused the problem in the first place.
Cheers in advance. Rick.

Uh oh. Try resetting the control module with the battery off for a while,
but later Jeeps have a habit of doing this with power mirrors. They're
a complete unit and are over 300 quid a piece at the dealer.

Rockauto.com sell em dirt cheap, but LHD mirrors MAY not point in the
right direction for a RHD vehicle. Never managed to get the question of
LHD mirrors pointing correctly on RHD cars answered.

Rockauto.com price
Left hand power folding mirror = $53.79
Right hand = $52.79
Shipping to Uk $63.25

Doesn't sound like a power problem, i can hear the motor running... its more like the cogs inside that have given up.

Pretty normal unfortunately. If you want folding mirrors, need to get out your wallet  :cry:
Resetting the control unit was a very long shot.
