How do I get to the power mirror motors?

Postby robjmccarthy » Wed May 05, 2021 2:50 pm

Hello,

I have a problem with my wing mirrors, and been advised to get into the motors to check that they are connected/not burnt out etc.

Does anyone have any steps/advice on how I get into the motors in the powered wing mirrors? Have done countless searches on both the forum and Google to no avail.

I have a 2014 Transit Custom.

Be kind if I have missed off any vital info. Fairly new to this forum and also Transits!

Cheers,
Rob

Usually just pop the glass out, but best to do it when they've been in the sun so the plastics not cold and brittle.

Have you checked the fuses?

I don’t think the motors are your problem,the same motors fold and unfold the mirrors,just polarity reversed to run opposite way.
Therefore if yours work in either direction you can rule those and the wiring to them out..

The same fuse,also powers both functions so is also assumed good.

Symptoms do suggest internal bcm fault,but needs someone to check this using the wiring disgram.
There are 2 relays contained in bcm,one for fold and another to unfold.

Thanks. Sorry for the delay.

They have started working again, without any changes. I did suspect it was the BCM, as you hear a relay ‘click sound’ when you try to fold and they don’t work.

I was going to take it to Ford to diagnose, but as it’s working I’m leaving for now. However, if it does happen again I’ll get it into Ford and update here with what the issue was.
