Fault finding mirrors wont open out

Has the mirror been knocked or damaged ? Does it make any sound or try to move ? Does it work when set to automatically fold when locking the car ? Does the mirror adjust OK ? If it does then it would appear that the electrical connection is Ok and its probably a motor/ servo fault in the mirror arm/bracket. Alsp easiest option is there a fuse for them if so check it.

Outside Mirror May Fold Out to Far : BMW 328i Common ...

repairpal.com > Problems > BMW > 328iside mirror fold out too far . and how to reset to normal . thanks. Upvoted .... side view mirror keeps folding out in a very extended position when I hit unlock.

no need to guess, a meter called an ammeter finds the drain easy.
find a electric man, this is easy for them.

Check the wiring loom from the A-post to the door prone to braking inside the insulation due to door opening and closing.

check the open position stop sensor for a fault

i would hazard a guess and say that wires in the rubber boot from the door pilar to the door are damaged or the connection block in the door pillar in this the terminals are corroded or something similar

If none of the mirrors or locks work, then you will very likely find a blown MIR/LCK Fuse #7 (10 Amp) in the underhood fuse block. If this is the case, you need to find out WHY the fuse blew because if you simply replace it, it will most likely do it again. Otherwise, the locks and mirrors also connect to the Body Control Module (BCM). I would recommend scanning the BCM for fault codes.

The windows are a completely separate circuit. They have nothing in common with the mirrors or locks other than than that they all ultimately get power from the battery and the circuits run through the umbilicals that go between the body and the doors.

If none of the windows are working, the most likely cause is an open power circuit or open ground circuit at the driver's door. This could be either a bad master control switch or is could be that the wires inside the umbilical are broken (fairly common).

the micro swithes inside the mirror unit(s) have probably broken inside

i would check the switch first and also the passenger side door jamb wire harness also i know it sounds simple but ALWAYS check ALL of you fuses before beginning any electrical fault tracing, try removing the switch and identify which wire powers the mirror and manually jump power with a paper clip to the mirror in question there should only be three wires one will have power and the others will be left and right mirror retraction if this works your switch is bad if not go to the mirror and power that manually and if no dice you got a bad motor -jeff

Its all about your mirror gearbox ther is have some teeth of gears are damaged,

SO try to contact your dealer or shoroom or certifietd mechanics to replace this with new or for repairing you cant do your self at hom,e without any experience,
