Power Mirrors Won't Work When Cold!
 
My S is about 5 weeks old and now that that the weather in Chicago has gotten more seasonal, my electric mirror adjustments (I do not have the power folding mirrors) do not work. This seems to be happening when the ambient temperature is below 40 degrees F. They do not begin to work when interior heats up either. Any correlation to heated mirror glasss? No ice or physical reason seen as to why this is happening. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Could it be iced up?
Time for a drive to the dealership.

Do you change your settings often? I haven't touched mine since the second or third day after I picked mine up.

I would think it might be frozen up. Do you have heated mirrors?

The mirrors are not frozen, as this has happened at 40 degrees with no moisture present. Last night, the under door light started flashing and the LED ambient lighting in the door was also dimming alternately, so it seems that a trip to the dealer to sort out some electrical demons in the driver's door is in the near future.
