Power Folding Mirrors

[CruseMissle]

My passenger side mirror wouldn’t unfold with the fob or the switch on the door. So I manually unfolded it this morning. I’ve tried re syncing it but that hasn’t worked. I sprayed some lubricant in the mirror also. Can the motor be bought separately or do I have to buy a new mirror. This is a 2015 HD

I used to have a 2014 GMC 1500 AT, I now have a 2017 GMC 1500 AT.  On both trucks, the passenger side mirror would only power fold when it felt like it, about 1/3 of the time.  Sometimes I could just hit the button a couple of times and then it worked.  On the 2014, I took it back the dealer and because it was intermittent, he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  So yeah, strange stuff.

These motors can be purchased. I looked into it at one point when my passenger mirror motor failed after about one year. I had it replaced under warranty though.

Have you tried to re-sync (reset) them? ...like if one is manually pushed in and now they are out of sync. Don't know if this will help with your problem, but it's always worth a try before replacing a motor...  

 

The reset process seemed relatively...but I can't remember if I saw it on this forum or the Duramax Forum? Or, possibly it's in the owners manual?

Disregard - just re-read the original post and re-syncing was already tried...

I had a similar problem, and had it replaced under warranty. At first GM/dealer couldn't reproduce so I send them video.

Here is one mirror parts example: https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-parts/2015/gmc/sierra-2500-hd/slt-trim/6-0l-v8-gas-engine/electrical-cat/mirrors-scat

It’s making a nasty noise I’m assuming something is broken inside. It won’t reset either. Looks like I’ll be buying a new mirror soon

This motor is for an older model, but the page says 2015+ coming soon. Who knows when that was, but maybe they can help you.

 

EDIT: Here you go. Says it's a pre-order.

Thanks I’ll look into it.

I called them, if its for the towing mirror, they have the replacement gear only but its not really listed.  Just email [email protected] and he can sell you replacement brass gear section to replace the stupid plastic thats failed.  Its cheap and its probably all that is wrong.  These towing mirrors are stupid expensive and mostly good except this.

[jatkinson8755]

Actually, this doesnt sound like its a tow mirror.  It is the same gear and motor used in the 2007-2013 trucks, it just has a slightly different housing.  But the link I gave you above would work for 07-13 power folding gears.

I have a 2016 chevy silvado 2500 HD, can you replace manual folding mirrors with power folding mirrors,? & if yes,  what do I need to do so,? wiring harness?  switch?
