Retracting Mirrors

[ep82gt]

Hi Everyone

Just a very quick and simple question

My Japanese import toyota (2006) has a button to retract the mirrors. When I press it, only the driver side retracts. I thought this was normal because my 1992 toyota estima did the same (driver side only)

I thought maybe because people tend to park on the streets in japan and park on the left so only the driver side is next to the road (so only the driver side needed to fold)

I asked a question on the facebook group but fellow japanese members doesn't understand my question but someone did say both should fold.

soooooooo. Is there anyway I can check if the other mirror folds? will there be 2 fuses and 1 has blown?

I don't know if the other folding mirror was an optional extra and the first buyer didn't go for it.

Thanks

Usually this is because a mirror has been replaced with a UK non folding part.

Take it apart, check the parts, then check the wiring.

Does anyone ever use the folding mirrors? Both my cars have it, people seem to rave over it, I never use it.

Thanks for the reply

I do tend to use the folding mirrors a fair bit as I park near a junction (outside my house) and people fly around the corner!!! If there is a car coming up the road then people have to squeese past
