folding mirror fault
 
hi guys , new to these forums , I have a grand voyager 2001 , one of my mirrors do not fold it when I activate the switch , what is the cause of this and can these be repaired

Just a quicky. Have you tried folding it manually then trying the switch. It might be confused.

This and electric sliding doors issue seem very common issues with our cars. How could Chrysler get this so wrong

no mate I will try that later , also as the other chap mentioned the sliding doors , I have a problem with just one of mine , when it opens it stops half way , it closes fine , I have googled it and found there could be a broken wire , I was thinking of changing all the wires , but I don't surpose anyone knows which wire in the harness is the one that powers the motor to open the door

You don't need to change any wires in the door loom, look in youtube for sliding door repair. It's almost always a broken wire where it folds and unfolds in the same place repeatedly, ten minute repair.

right update guys , tried the mirror and still wont work , I folded it in but it wont go out itself , the door problem I changed all the wires but still the same , it seems to go slow compared the other one aswell then stop

the slowness would seem to indicate motor or excessive load on the motor. Try measuring the current drawn by the motors on either side.

I agree with Richard about the excessive load. Check that's a it's probably the most likely thing, but also spray the runners with some grease to give it a helping hand and hopefully smooth out the operation. Other thing that is quite common on the window regulators are the carbon brushes wearing down so this might be the same for the door motors?

Don't overlook the runner on the bottom of the rear side window glass when you're applying lubricant. This seems to benefit the most from lubrication. I use Vaseline/Petroleum Jelly on my GV.

i think i have done it now lads , I took the whole loom out and changed every wire from end to end , I will spray lube over all the runners later aswell and se how it goes
