What Causes the Failure of the Passat's Power Folding Mirrors?

[OAbel]

Passat's power folding mirror malfunction can stem from both mechanical and electronic control system issues. Common causes include damage to the electric mirror motor, blown fuse in the control switch, or wiring faults. Prolonged bending during mirror folding may lead to wire breakage, loose connectors, or poor contact, resulting in failure. Relevant information about car mirrors is as follows: 1. Location: Car side mirrors are mounted on both left and right sides of the vehicle's front, along with an interior rearview mirror at the front of the cabin. 2. Function: These mirrors provide visibility of areas behind, beside, and below the vehicle, serving as "second eyes" that significantly expand the driver's field of view by indirectly displaying these critical zones.
