side mirror problems ..

hello all!
have a MR 2014 335. I noticed that my driver side mirror stopped folding when I pressed the button. It was working fine couple days ago. When I press the button only the passenger side mirror folds. It wont adjust either. My passenger mirror can be adjusted and it folds but it doesn't tilt when I reveres (yes, I have the button in the left position) Has anyone have any experience with this? anyone know where the fuse is? Any help would be great!

That is strange. From a problem solving perspective it sounds like maybe the little switch you use to select which mirror to operate might be faulty and isn't registering when it is in the Left position since you can't operate your left mirror AND it doesn't seem to be registering that the switch isn't on the Right position for reverse tilt.

Thanks for the feed back.
Strange thing is that the passenger side mirror stop tilting for awhile now and my drivers side window just lost function a few days.
So now both of my mirror doesn't adjust.


the signal light still works. Not sure if it shares the same power source or not.
Do the power mirrors share 1 fuse? Since the passenger side mirror folds I can rule out the fuse?

I would just take it to the the dealer since you should still be under warranty. It could be a fuse problem but I wouldn't know where to even start trying to figure out which one.

Hey I got similar issue.. the passenger mirror looks down when I put reverse (switch on left side) but I cannot adjust the mirror left/right positions.

Did you happen to fix this? Also wonder if I can manually adjust it without doing any damage

This might sound silly but if the switch to select side mirrors in on the left side, it wont fold, nor tilt the mirror when in reverse. Make sure the switch is on the left side.

Sounds like the switch might be giving you fits.
