Having just fixed the door ajar issue (micro switch) i have now lost the power fold function and it seems the memory function on the mirrors, seat and steering wheel memory still function as do the all the functions on the drivers door switch pack, barring the power fold. When the door latch issue first arose i thought it might be the door control module, so i replaced it. Obviously that was not the issue but i am wondering if this has caused the problem i now have as the mirrors were fine before. Does the module control any of the mirror functions ?. I checked the part no's matched, it was a used part i bought. Any thoughts on this will be much appreciated. Many thanks. Anthony.

 

Possibly.
It's the seat control modules that do the work, but the instructions come from the drivers door control module (the wonders of networking)

'Fold flat' mirrors is a programmable 'Convenience feature' so it may be that the replacement module doesn't have that set?

 

Thanks for the reply, i think you maybe onto something there, weekend job put the original module back in, oh what fun.

 

Did you disconnect the battery?

When I worked at the dealer sometimes I would forget to disconnect the battery and replace a door module or driver's switchpack and windows would not function or other problems. Then I would remember to perform the HARD RESET. Everything back to normal.

 

What is a hard reset? how is that done?.

Does the positive cable stay on the battery when touching the earth lead onto the positive pole?

 

Yes..or you can take them both off (neg first) and join with a jump lead.

when you re connect as well as the windows to re set turn on ignition and move accelerator to the floor and back a couple of times.

 

Thanks.

 

module update. Tried the hard reset, still nothing, so decided to fit the original module and all is well. Thanks for all the advice.
