Folding mirror problem

Hi all,

My late 1996 R33 S2 has just developed the drivers-side-mirror-not-folding-in syndrome.

If pushed in, it does unfold (makes me think it's not the motor).

I guess it's either the brushes or one of the diodes on the circuit board.

Has anyone here solved this problem ?

Also, does anyone here have an electrical wiring diagram showing the folding mirror ?

Cheers

Graeme

Electrical diagram of mirror folding circuit

I followed the information supplied by Kashmir on the other forum (linked previously) and now am back up and folding again.

I buzzed out the circuit and drew it up - this might help those out there with electrical problems:

Spider

OK, I admit it - it wasn't me who fixed the mirror, it was the spider, I gave it the tools and superglue and off it went.

PS It was one of the two wipers (brushes as described elsewhere) which had become detached from the nylon ring - re-glued in position and now back up and folding !
