On our 06 Limited, the power folding mirrors don't quite work correctly.
They "fold" in about 2 or 3 inches then stop. And when going back, don't seem to go back and line up with the rest of the mirror base.
I have read the instructions on how to reset, and that doesn't seem to work since they don't move far enough for that, or to hear a snap.
I did see another thread on here someone was going to work up some aftermarket brass gears and motors, but I'm trying to figure out if this is just a pull apart, clean up and grease type of thing, or if something is in fact broken.
Has anyone torn apart whatever it is that folds these things, or tried to repair them. I'd rather not spend hundreds replacing both sides, as they seem to work well other than the folding part, and I don't want to have to color match new parts as well adding to the cost.
Can't tell if it is going to help to try and lube it up, so before I spray a gallon of lubricant in there and make things worse, wanted some advice. Don't see anything in the service schedule that says to lubricate, so not sure if it is needed. I'm sure this isn't the first electrical thing that has failed on these rigs.
Thanks,
Josh
