Folding Mirror Issue

[rlaspinall]

My drivers door mirror has been lazy for a while. When left in the garage for a few days, it has always needed to be manually folded out and then it would work fine if used regularly. We just came back from being away for 2.5 weeks and now it the it won't budge more than 1/4" with power and needs to be folded both ways manually. Anyone have any experience on this?

Yep, the internal gears and/or motor is shot. Gotta replace it unfortunately. I've had 3 replaced on my truck so far under the extended warranty.

Seen this on the other board I'm on:

Powerfold mirrors out of synchronization:
This may occur if one of the mirrors has been bumped out of position, then the powerfold switch is used. To re-synch the mirros, fold them both in towards the cab until an audible popping is heard. Then press the powerfold switch to re-deploy the mirrors. Folding one mirror completely in, then fully out by habd will not unsynch the mirrors. Broadcast Message 7051.
