The o/s mirror will not fold and the glass will not move.Mirror was checked by swapping with the n/s and both mirrors work fine.
In short no mirror works on the o/s.
All fuses are fine.
Could this be a break in the wires to the o/s mirror or has it got something to do with the o/s door control module?
Windows and locking all work ok,its just one mirror totally dead.Car is a 2004 Aero convertible.
Thanks for your time in this matter
Bill.
sorry
I am having the same problem with my 9-3
Planning to open the door compartment to get a better look.
Also have read that it could be a bad wire in the harness leading from the car to the door.

repairpal.com > Problems > BMW > 328iside mirror fold out too far . and how to reset to normal . thanks. Upvoted .... side view mirror keeps folding out in a very extended position when I hit unlock.
as far as i know the mirrors are a fault on the x5 i would check the button function and wiring that go to the mirror if not disconect the power to the mirror motors not sure how to do this but thats the only way i can think of
{: ) Have someone control the power fold buttons, while you check closely the passenger mirror. If you can feel or hear even a faint hum of the motor while commanded, try giving it a little help, but don't force it if you think it doesn't have enough power to extend or retract itself. The motor could be really stuck or inoperative.
Sometimes when the mirror has been accidentally or manually folded, it needs to be reset by just pressing on the fold buttons a few rounds and let the mirrors fold by itself. Like an exercise.
If you hear the humming noise whenever the fold buttons are pressed, we can assume that the circuit on that side is ok since it is responding electrically, and that a jammed or stuck mechanism is preventing it to move.
If you don't feel or hear any humming, as in totally no sign of response, then there will be additional considerations before deciding to go for a replacement mirror. You will need to confirm if the fault is on the wirings, a door module, or the mirror motor itself. A scan tool test may be recommended for effective diagnosis.
The power fold mirror can be serviced as an assembly. So, goodluck.
Grab the passenger mirror with both hands. Fold the mirror all the way forward, all the way back and then back to the home position. Sometimes the mirror will get off track if it has been bumped or moved out of place manually.
For the rear window, just need adjuts the both slightly...
Check the next procedure to Power Mirrors... Diagnosis &
Testing The exterior mirror control switch receives power
through circuit SBP12 (GN/RD) and ground through circuit GD143 (BK/VT).
The exterior mirror control switch uses circuit CPM23 (GY) as the common
circuit for both exterior mirror up/down and right/left movement.
Possible Causes:
Fuse 12 (7.5A) (SJB)
An open in circuits CPM23 (GY), SBP12 (GN/RD) or GD143 (BK/VT
A short to ground in circuit CPM23 (GY)
A short to voltage in circuit CPM23 (GY)
Exterior mirror control switch.
Checking the voltage at the mirror switch:
Key in OFF position.
Disconnect: Exterior Mirror Control Switch C527.
Key in ON position.
Measure the voltage between ground and exterior mirror control
switch C527-1, circuit SBP12 (GN/RD).
Voltage should be greater than 10 volts.
If voltage is greater than 10 volts, check that fuse 12 (7.5A) is
OK. If OK, REPAIR circuit SBP12 (GN/RD) for an open.
Exterior Mirror Motor Synchronization
NOTE
This procedure must be performed any time the power folding
mirrors are manually folded in or out, or if the position of the mirror
case has been moved without using the mirror control switch.
NOTE
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.
Set the mirror control switch to the CENTER position.
Use the mirror control switch (press rearward) to automatically
cycle the power folding mirrors in and out 4 times.
When an audible popping sound is heard, the power folding mirror
motors are synchronized.
NOTE
It may be necessary to cycle the power folding mirrors in or out
up to 4 times before they are synchronized.
Removal & Installation Motor
Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions section.
NOTE
If equipped with power folding mirrors, they must be synchronized
any time the mirrors have been folded or unfolded without using the
mirror control switch. Refer to synchronization procedure.
Position the exterior mirror glass in a downward position to
obtain a gap at the edge of the mirror.
CAUTION
Place a shop towel between the exterior mirror glass and the hand
to avoid personal injury in the instance of glass breakage.
Insert a flat-blade screwdriver between the mirror glass tabs and
the mounting plate, and rotate to separate the locking tabs from the
mounting plate.
Carefully pull the top edge of the glass away from the exterior
mirror housing.

Folding Mirror System
Folding Mirror System Controls
The folding mirror system requires signals from 2 separate switches. The mirror select switch must be in the neutral/fold position and the mirror direction switch must be activated to the left/extend or right/retract positions. Both switches are integrated into the DDM and provide direct signals.
Folding Mirror System Operation
Upon receipt of the required switch inputs the DDM will supply battery voltage and ground to the mirror fold motor control circuits to perform the requested extend or retract function. The DDM will also send a class 2 message to the PDM indicating the requested function. The PDM will supply battery voltage and ground to the mirror fold motor control circuits to perform the requested extend or retract function.
Power Mirror System
Power Mirror System Components
The power mirror system consists of the following components:
• The driver door module--Class 2 module with integrated switches and requires programming when replaced
• The passenger door module--Class 2 module with integrated switches, requires programming when replaced and also contains the RFA receiver
• The power mirror direction switch--Integrated into DDM and is a 4-position momentary switch that provides a signal input to the DDM for up, down, left/extend and right/retract with a mirror switch activation
• The mirror select switch--Integrated into DDM and is a 3-position switch that allows the operator to select the left or right mirror and also a neutral/fold position
• The left outside power mirror--Contains both the vertical and horizontal mirror motors and is serviced as a complete mirror assembly
• The right outside power mirror--Contains both the vertical and horizontal mirror motors and is serviced as a complete mirror assembly
• The body control module--Class 2 module that requires programming when replaced, serves as the power mode master and is the main message handler
• The DDM 10A fuse--Located in the I/P fuse block and is hot at all times
• The PDM 10A fuse--Located in the I/P fuse block and is hot at all times
• The memory switch, if equipped with memory mirrors--Supplied power by the DDM and provides a voltage signal to the DDM upon a switch activation
• The horizontal and vertical position sensors, if equipped with memory mirrors--Supplied a 5-volt and low reference by the DDM/PDM and provide a variable voltage signal to the DDM/PDM that is proportional to mirror position
• The park neutral position switch, if equipped with memory mirrors--Provides transmission gear selection information to the PCM and is used for memory recall and mirror tilt in reverse functions
• The powertrain control module, if equipped with memory mirrors--Class 2 module that requires programming when replaced and provides Class 2 message indicating transmission gear selection
• The driver information center (DIC), if equipped with memory mirrors--Part of the instrument cluster which is a Class 2 module that requires programming when replaced and is used to personalize the memory recall and mirror tilt in reverse functions
• Fold motor in each of the outside mirrors, if equipped with power fold mirrors--Provides extend and retract movements of the mirror and is serviced as a complete mirror assembly
Each of the outside power mirrors contains 2 reversible motors to provide horizontal and vertical movement of the mirror glass. The vertical motor operates the up and down directions and the horizontal motor operates the left and right directions. If equipped with power folding mirrors, each outside power mirror will contain a reversible fold motor to operate the extend and retract functions. Each of the mirror motors are circuit breaker protected.
DTC B1722
The driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) switch the mirror fold motor control circuits to battery voltage and ground in response to mirror extend or retract command.
The power folding function of your exterior mirrors on your '04 H2 depends on a plastic gear to collapse those mirrors at the touch of a button. That plastic gear strips very easily. The service adviser at our Hummer dealership said that problem was rectified in later model years with a redesign of of the collapsing mechanism of those mirrors.
I don't mind manually folding our mirrors, and I was afraid to ask about the cost of the parts required to solve the issue. The service guy didn't volunteer the cost of the fix. Not typically covered by aftermarket extended service/warranty plans.
had to install a driver side non folding mirror, fairly simply to say the least. There's a cover on the interior of the door, near the window, remove the cover, remove the 3 screws, need i believe a 10mm socket. If a power window, unhook the circuit. Replace new mirror.
