Do you use the auto fold option? If so, then chances are it'll be broken wires. Pretty simple to fix - remove mirror housing, unclip harness from front door module (behind the small panel on the door card), then fire up the soldering iron - it's very easy to spot broken wires by feeling along the length for the break.
Oh, and once fixed, don't use the fold option unless you have to! |

90 quid to repair at MB if they can or 300 quid for new mirrors.
Not sure if auto electricians any cheaper? My drivers one will not tilt in the downwards direction and the pax side has also just started playing up. E320 cdi 2004 |

You fold the mirror in (yes, I know the irony!) then get a flat blade screwdriver in the little hole between the casing and the black mirror moulding. You need to feel for the clip (about 1/3 - 1/2 of the way along the mirror) and unclip it. The first time you do it, it can be frustrating and take ages - once you get the hang of it, it takes seconds! |
