2017 F350 Plantinum.....about 5-10% of the time my passenger side mirror will not fold along with the drivers. I have to unfold and try again, it always works the second time though...so far.

anyone else?

 

There is a clutch in the mirrors and they can and do come out of sequence if they are manually folded. Next time you fold it in go manually fold in the mirror that wouldn't fold. Then unfold with the switch, they should be back in sequence. The clutch is just a wafer disc with a spring and raised nubs and doesn't like to be manually folded. I had to learn all this because ford has such a hard standpoint on replacing mirrors under warranty. I took mine apart to fix the no fold issue and figured out I didn't actually have to take it apart.

 

My 18 XLT does it also. Ill try the manual fold in next time. Never happened on my 13 150.

 

Thanks guys, so I will not harm anything by doing a manual fold? or maybe just take it to the dealer after I video tape the issue.

 

Take it to the dealer but don't be surprised when they try to find a scratch on the housing. Ford trys to seem all mirrors as unwarranted repairs and cites impact damage. Most likely you mirror got manually folded in at one point and just needs to be put back in sequence.

 

I have not run into his issue yet but great information, thanks.

 

Mine is a intermittent problem, it only happens once and a while......most of the time the passengers side folds a long with the drivers, with no issues..

As far as I know my trucks mirrors has never been manually folded or hit in any way. only 5000 km on the truck, and its never parked near anything that can hit it.

I will have ford check it out I guess.

 

My first major repair on my 2017 xlt . Driver side mirror does everything but fold in . Spoke to my dealer and there is no repairing it , I have to buy complete mirror assembly $1250 plus labor . Frustrating since it don't have a scratch on it.
