Power Folding Mirrors

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The power folding mirrors must be synchronized any time the mirrors are folded or unfolded without using the mirror control switch, or if a new power folding mirror has been installed. Refer to Exterior Mirror Motor Synchronization - Power Folding  in this article.

The power folding mirror option allows both power mirrors to be folded or unfolded from the exterior mirror control switch. When the exterior mirror switch is set to the power folding mirror (center) position and pressed rearward and released, the mirrors will fold in if they are folded out, or unfold if they are folded in. The power folding mirrors contain a drive motor which is not replaceable. If a power fold motor is inoperative, a new power folding mirror assembly must be installed. The mirror glass motor, mirror glass, turn signal indicator, puddle lamp and exterior mirror cover are the only replaceable components in a power folding mirror. If the power folding mirrors are folded or unfolded continuously (6 to 10 cycles), the power lockout feature will disable the system for 2 minutes to prevent damage to the power fold motors. After 2 minutes have elapsed, normal operation will resume.
