Why can't the rearview mirror of the Audi Q3 be adjusted?
2 Answers
Improper operation may lead to unsuccessful adjustment. Here is the relevant introduction about why the rearview mirror of the Audi Q3 cannot be adjusted: 1. The position for adjusting the rearview mirror of the Audi Q3: the rearview mirror adjustment button area on the inner door handle of the driver's side. 2. Adjusting the rearview mirror: Turn the knob to the left to the left rearview mirror mark, then you can move the knob up, down, left, and right to adjust the angle of the rearview mirror. The angle of the right rearview mirror can also be adjusted. The "0" mark represents the vacant position. When the knob is turned to the vacant position, it can prevent all previous settings from being accidentally disrupted.
My own Audi Q3 also encountered this issue. Actually, the most common reason for non-adjustable rearview mirrors is a problem with the switch button. The round adjustment knob on the door panel tends to accumulate dust over time, leading to poor contact and unresponsiveness when pressed. Another possibility is a blown fuse—the No. 15 fuse in the fuse box located below the steering wheel specifically controls the rearview mirror circuit. Another potential cause lies inside the mirror itself: the tiny motor inside may be jammed or burnt out, especially if high-pressure water jets during car washing force water into the mirror gaps. In winter, forcibly adjusting frozen mirrors can also damage the gears. If all these issues are ruled out, then the door wiring harness needs to be checked—the wiring from the switch to the mirror is prone to breaking at the door hinge due to repeated bending.
