    I just bought a fully loaded used 2015 jeep grand cherokee summit diesel. When I push the mirror fold button they fold inwards like normal but then when I push the button again for them to unfold the passenger mirror works properly but the drivers side mirror keeps going until it folds all the way forward. Any idea what could be happening?

    Everything was held in by screws and friction. A little prying and everything came apart if it didn't just fall out. It absolutely worked, it's worked ever since and I do a lot of miles on it.

    This just happened to my 2017 Hyundai Azera. I can hear the motor running but there’s grinding noise and it doesn’t move. I wish it got stock downwards instead of upwards lmao

    How did you get the smaller motor assembly apart? I know its been a while, but anything you can share about about you remember or have taken video would be great!

    15 Ford Fusion SE passenger side mirror functions of both the movement and turn signal aren’t working. What could cause both problems? Just replace the whole mirror? It’s not likely the fuse ? because it controls both sides and my driver side is working. It’s not likely control switch because it again controls both sides? Not the motor by itself because also the turn signal isn’t working ? I’ve not pried the door panel off and taken a look for obvious damage.. just looks like no power getting to mirror or bad mirror? Thanks for any advice

I've removed the mirror housing, the motor connector but can't figure out how to remove the plastic cover over it, without breaking everything. Any tips?

    The motor assembly comes apart from the other part with 3 screws I think it was. Then the motor itself isn't supposed to be opened in it's case but you can get it open if you do it just right.
