Hello everyone
I own a C3 Aircross 67 plate uk

I have just set off to take my grand father to an appointment and my wing mirrors turned in and have locked that way, while I was driving! I have stopped the car, turned off engine, locked, unlocked several times since it happened, and nothing has worked.

Any suggestions of how to fix my issue? I still need to get grand dad back home and then myself and step kids home from Manchester to Liverpool!!

If you have a manual to locate the fuse that supply’s the mirror check it has blown

Have you accidentally moved the mirror adjustment switch?

Possible you have inadvertently moved the switch like this one near the mirror control. The one in the middle with the wing mirror on it. Move it backwards with ignition on and see if the mirrors redeploy. Make sure it in in the middle as shown not to one side
If this switch is moved backwards it doesn't reset automatically to normal even if ignition is switched off and on.

Perfect answer, Beanee3. Pity OP couldn't be bothered to thank you.

It's possible, of course, that the OP hasn't seen the response yet? Bit early to be judgemental?
