Greydog, Thanks for all the help! I think the problem is in the stationary part that opens and closes the micro switch. The original micro switch is open-- closed---open. The Chinese mirror micro is open---closed. I have concluded per your advice and research to dump the Chinese mirrors and find some good used originals and start over. Many thanks again for your input. Huba

Greydog, The cheap Chinese mirrors only have two wires, so hoe do I deal with that? Huba

Greydog, you got me wrong. I don't know what I'm doing, I'm just trying to clarify why you say to reverse polarity since I believe the switch is just "on" "off". I also didn't know you could buy the micro switches separately. The left hand mirror was trash anyway.. So help me to finish this mess please, the cheap Chinese mirrors won't fix themselves. Thanks, Huba

O.K. Greydog, How would I do that? cut the two wires and solder them opposite to each other and why do you think that would fix it ? Thanks , Huba

I have a 2005 BMW X5 with folding mirror problems . The micro switch on the left mirror was broken, I replaced the mirror with anew mirror from KOOL-VUE--no fix. So I replaced the right mirror with mirror from KOOL-VUE-- still the same problem. Checking on the function of the micro switch, I found on the original mirror the micro switch is on-off- on as the mirror is moved from the normal position to the park position. The KOOL- VUE is on- off as you move it. Does anyone have any info on how the micro switch should function? Does anyone have any experience with KOOL-VUE? It is made in China and they have no tech support. Please help. Huba
