Diagnosis & Testing
The exterior mirror control switch receives power through circuit SBP12 (GN/RD) and ground through circuit GD143 (BK/VT). The exterior mirror control switch uses circuit CPM23 (GY) as the common circuit for both exterior mirror up/down and right/left movement.

1. Possible Causes:
   Fuse 12 (7.5A) (SJB) An open in circuits CPM23 (GY), SBP12 (GN/RD) or GD143 (BK/VT A short to ground in circuit CPM23 (GY) A short to voltage in circuit CPM23 (GY) Exterior mirror control switch.
2. Checking the voltage at the mirror switch:
   Key in OFF position. Disconnect: Exterior Mirror Control Switch C527. Key in ON position. Measure the voltage between ground and exterior mirror control switch C527-1, circuit SBP12 (GN/RD). Voltage should be greater than 10 volts.
3. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, check that fuse 12 (7.5A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR circuit SBP12 (GN/RD) for an open.
   

Exterior Mirror Motor Synchronization

NOTE This procedure must be performed any time the power folding mirrors are manually folded in or out, or if the position of the mirror case has been moved without using the mirror control switch.
NOTE If the power folding mirrors are folded or unfolded continuously (6 to 10 cycles), the power lockout feature will disable the system for 2 minutes to prevent damage to the power fold motors. After 2 minutes have elapsed, normal operation will resume.

1. Set the mirror control switch to the CENTER position.
2. Use the mirror control switch (press rearward) to automatically cycle the power folding mirrors in and out 4 times.
3. When an audible popping sound is heard, the power folding mirror motors are synchronized.
   NOTE It may be necessary to cycle the power folding mirrors in or out up to 4 times before they are synchronized.

Removal & Installation
Motor

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions section.
   NOTE If equipped with power folding mirrors, they must be synchronized any time the mirrors have been folded or unfolded without using the mirror control switch. Refer to synchronization procedure.
   
2. Position the exterior mirror glass in a downward position to obtain a gap at the edge of the mirror.
   CAUTION Place a shop towel between the exterior mirror glass and the hand to avoid personal injury in the instance of glass breakage.
   
3. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver between the mirror glass tabs and the mounting plate, and rotate to separate the locking tabs from the mounting plate.
4. Carefully pull the top edge of the glass away from the exterior mirror housing.
   
   Fig. Mirror Glass removal shown
   
5. If equipped, disconnect the heated mirror electrical connectors and remove the glass.

Hope this help.

Hi I had the same problem when I purchased GTO, garage replaced engine however a few days later same noise returned, turns out garage had serviced car and used inferior oil, changed to Mobil 1 and have not had any noise since, had car 4 years now! Expensive mistake by dealer !!

clogged fuel filter, or a short in your computer

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/john_2c7bb9c157d0baa8

Yes the mirrors are hinged so you can flod them against the car to keep from breaking them while being washed in an automated machine.

Has it ocurred to you that your wing mirrors are not the electrically folding type, most are not. The switch on the drivers arm rest for adjusting the mirrrors will have a separate position for folding if yours fold. The resistance to fold by hand is very stiff as you have to overcome the spring tension, even when folded by hand they do not fold as flat as you might think.
I purchased a 2006 Golf 5 GT Tdi last year it had £5000 worth of factory fitted options but did not have electrically folding door mirrors - hope this helps.

the fuse for the mirrors is in the fuse block inside the car on the left side of the dash-however the mirrors do not fold in with the switch,you fold them in with your hand-usually for storage(car cover)
