My passenger side mirror wouldn’t unfold with the fob or the switch on the door. So I manually unfolded it this morning. I’ve tried re syncing it but that hasn’t worked. I sprayed some lubricant in the mirror also. Can the motor be bought separately or do I have to buy a new mirror. This is a 2015 HD

I used to have a 2014 GMC 1500 AT, I now have a 2017 GMC 1500 AT.  On both trucks, the passenger side mirror would only power fold when it felt like it, about 1/3 of the time.  Sometimes I could just hit the button a couple of times and then it worked.  On the 2014, I took it back the dealer and because it was intermittent, he couldn't find anything wrong with it.  So yeah, strange stuff.

These motors can be purchased. I looked into it at one point when my passenger mirror motor failed after about one year. I had it replaced under warranty though.

Have you tried to re-sync (reset) them? ...like if one is manually pushed in and now they are out of sync. Don't know if this will help with your problem, but it's always worth a try before replacing a motor...  

 

The reset process seemed relatively...but I can't remember if I saw it on this forum or the Duramax Forum? Or, possibly it's in the owners manual?

Disregard - just re-read the original post and re-syncing was already tried...

I had a similar problem, and had it replaced under warranty. At first GM/dealer couldn't reproduce so I send them video.

Here is one mirror parts example: https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/auto-parts/2015/gmc/sierra-2500-hd/slt-trim/6-0l-v8-gas-engine/electrical-cat/mirrors-scat

It’s making a nasty noise I’m assuming something is broken inside. It won’t reset either. Looks like I’ll be buying a new mirror soon

This motor is for an older model, but the page says 2015+ coming soon. Who knows when that was, but maybe they can help you.

 

EDIT: Here you go. Says it's a pre-order.

I called them, if its for the towing mirror, they have the replacement gear only but its not really listed.  Just email [email protected] and he can sell you replacement brass gear section to replace the stupid plastic thats failed.  Its cheap and its probably all that is wrong.  These towing mirrors are stupid expensive and mostly good except this.

Actually, this doesnt sound like its a tow mirror.  It is the same gear and motor used in the 2007-2013 trucks, it just has a slightly different housing.  But the link I gave you above would work for 07-13 power folding gears.

How do you replace the motor and gear?  Can't find any instructions from Google.  Thanks

Yeah so my passenger side mirror wouldn’t fold out. Pushed button again usually works   But this time, with my 63 yr old friend and 5 yr old child in the truck!! The damn thing caught on fire started smelling & smoking!!! I jumped out dumped my cup of what was mostly ice on it then grabbed this man’s hose turned it on ran to my truck & sprayed the heck out of it. I was in the middle of south ga so I needed it to get back on the highway. Thank fully the cameras worked so I could change lanes a tiny bit safer & finally home around 11pm. They want $1,425 to replace it. It’s just the motor is there a recall? What can I do? I’m in a huge bind with other unfortunate events simultaneously occurring (hence the over emotional tone above). I’m still trying to find a job on top of this. Can anyone help me get one win?

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
