Wing Mirror problem

[baviaannl]

My nearside wing mirror is playing up, I can only control it to operate left and right, it won't go up or down (offside works fine) I pulled off the control panel last night to inspect the wiring, couldn't see any obvious problems, the contact is good from the plug to.  Took the trim off the door inside and checked the same, couldn't see anything obviously wrong. 

 

Obviously it is working as 2 directions are fine, anyone have any ideas of where to start here?

Sounds like the gearing has siezed. Take the glass out and strip it down to see what's going on - if you're lucky it'll just need some lubrication.

Worked out the problem, removed the the side mirror assembly as I wanted to check everything, removed the mirror and CAREFULLY removed the gear box for inspection.  Opened up the gear box and stripped it down to find that one of the 2 plastic gears was broken.  Took the gear to a graphical designer I know who recreated it within his 3D software, it's now printing on his Prusa i3.  I'll collect it this evening and refit everything, fingers crossed 🙂

All reassembled and now works once again... This wing mirror had been like this since purchase so pleased its all working as it should.
