W215 Passenger Side Mirror Issue

[ea666]

The passenger side mirror has an issue where the mirror moves left to right, but not up or down.

I also have an "L. TURN SIG. RFLECTR" Check message which appears randomly.

Any idea's what this could be? or has anyone else experienced anything similar.

I had similar at OOOO A6 at was wrong earth connection

check and clean all connectors for corrosion

as well I heard when you have open windows and rain

Swich unit in door can have water inside and cause mirror trouble

Also the wire breaks in the folding mirror hinge.

Also the wire breaks in the folding mirror hinge.

If the wire breaks would this require a whole new mirror module?

Sometimes not. The loom can be repaired usually.

Just to update, i have fitted a brand new Mercedes mirror frame and indicator lamp today. This has given me full movement of the mirror.

Oddly the puddle light under the mirror case is still not working!

Any ideas??

Hi Deane x, In order for the passenger wing mirror to move down in reverse the mirror switch has to be set in the left (passenger side) position. hope this helps

Mine doesn't have the tilt facility with it being a 2006 model. Apparently this has to be coded via the instrument cluster to have this feature. I'm still researching this....

Just noticed that the mirror also doesn't fold out flush against the rubber. Is there a reset that needs to be done?
