Help, auto folding mirrors have stopped working!!!

[Borris]

After a trip to the Beach with our grand kids yesterday I was fully occupied unloading the van and getting the bbq working whilst Mrs B took the keys from my pocket and locked the van. Unfortunately, when I next went out to the van I discovered that the wing mirrors no longer fold when the lock button is held down on the key fob. This is frustrating as I use this function all the time. I'm guessing that Mrs B has somehow managed to deactivate that function. They still fold if you use the knob on the drivers door card with the ignition on. This auto fold option worked perfectly well at the beach. We have an October 2019 Beach.

How can I reactivate this function? Any advice would be greatfully accepted.

Hi Borris
try folding them and unfolding them from the manual in van controls three or four times, then try the fob again.

Make sure the knob is set in the middle (no action) position

Failing that try the window reset, windows all the way down, hold the down button for a few seconds, then raise the windows up all the way and hold the button up for a few seconds try the window and mirror again on the fob

If that doesn’t work, check the starter battery charge level ?

or the battery in the key fob ... but that should give a separate warning on the dash ....

If the stater battery charge is good, disconnect the starter battery for 10mins , reconnect and try again?

If that fails try manually folding both mirrors up then down ensure they go fully in both directions and try again ?

Thanks Perfectos,
I'll give it a go when I have a spare few minutes and report back.

You should find that the 1 button window closure has also failed. Both front windows have to be reset.

Folding Mirrors Only Work Via The Manual Switch

Hi, My first question since owning the T6 edition 18 plate over the last couple of weeks. As per the thread title the elctric folding mirrors have stopped working from the long press on the key fob. This seems to have stopped from the time I used the internal switch to manually fold them...

Thanks @Perfectos and @WelshGas.
We, my 10 year old grandson Monty and I have just been out to explore the problem. We tried all the options mentioned above except disconnecting the battery. I'm not sure what we have done but the windows and mirrors now work as they should.

Once again, many thanks.

I missed that one from the list, if you can’t fix it get a 10 year old to do it !

Glad you got it sorted with minimum hassle and your apprentice enjoyed his time with Grandad

Did you have the knob switched to position "0"

Yes.

The reset worked for me, but specifically, you have to release the window button and the repress it and hold for several seconds to reset. Do this lowering and again when raising the windows. I did not release the button after lowering, I just lowered the window and held the button for a few seconds and this did not allow a reset. Thank you for this help.
