Door mirror not working in open position

[Deleted member 55947]

W211 2005.
The electric adjustment isn't working when the mirror is in the open position but operates ok when in the closed position. I quess it's a frayed wire. Anyone had a similar problem and any fixes recommended.

there is a thread - let me have a look.

It might be more than one wire - on ours it was 4 from memory...

had same problem, wire(s) broken where mirror folds, when folded wire(s) make contact again. took mirror cover off and connected broken ones with new one and good insulating tape.
hope that helps
