Mirror folding not synced?
Just noticed on my truck that when I fold my mirrors in, the driver mirror takes about 2 1/2 seconds longer to fold in compared to the passenger mirror. Same thing happens when they unfold.
something new that just started. Anyone else have this issue?

Here is the Ford procedure to sync them, There is a video too Ill see if I can upload it
501-09 Rear View Mirrors 2022 F-250-600 Super Duty
General Procedures Procedure revision date: 07/22/2020
Power Mirrors Synchronization
Synchronization
NOTE: The power folding mirrors may need to be synchronized any time the mirrors are folded or unfolded without using the folding
switch, or if a new power folding mirror is installed.
NOTE: The power telescoping mirrors may need to be synchronized any time the mirrors are extended or retracted without using the
telescoping switch, or if a new power telescoping mirror is installed.
NOTE: If the power folding or power telescoping mirrors are continuously electronically moved, the power lockout feature disables the
system for approximately 3-10 minutes to prevent damage to the power fold or power telescope motors. After 3-10 minutes have
elapsed, normal operation resumes.
NOTE: The truck power folding mirror procedure is shown in the videos; other vehicles and power telescoping mirror procedure are
similar.
1. Fold or retract both mirrors by hand.
2. Using the power folding/power telescoping mirror switch, operate the mirrors until an audible click is heard.
3. Operate the power folding or power telescoping mirrors an additional 3 to 4 times to synchronize the mirrors.

The owners manual clearly states it's normal for the mirrors to fold at different rates. Never said why, though. This is NOT and out of sync issue. If they were out of sync they would stop in the wrong place, either not in or out all the way.
Landing gear on aircraft do not extend or retract at the same rate either. So relax, this is normal.

My guess is that the wire distance is different between the two mirrors. The slow mirror must have a longer wire length, which causes a voltage drop.
