Power Folding Mirrors Question
My folding mirrors will not work unless the key is on (I have push button start). Is this the way things are? Even my wife's Kia allows me to fold the mirrors after I turn off the car. Is there a way to fix this?
In my opinion, another thing someone in an office designed versus someone out there in the real world.

Mine folds the mirrors with the ignition off. Yes, keyless entry and start. I do it all the time. Open the door, push the mirror button and voila. I sometimes have to fold the mirrors when the wife parks too close for me to get the motorcycle out. I use the keypad, open the door, push the button and fold the mirrors. I am double-damn sure it works that way.

On my 2018 F-250 I can fold/unfold the mirrors at any time. Engine on, engine off, door open or door closed.

Huh? With zero power on yours folds? You can walk up to the truck, open the door and fold them with the key in?
My 15 has to have the key in the accessory position in order for them to fold which is basically what the OP is saying on his truck. Accessory mode on or vehicle running for them to work.

My '17 requires ignition to be on to fold mirrors. From the responses herein, looks like the 17's need power, and the 18's can fold anytime. There must be a way to enable this for the '17 MY!! It's a huge pet peeve.
