POWER FOLD MIRRORS

[SILVERBULLET69]

SO LAST NIGHT I WAS WASHING THE BUGS AND GUNK OFF THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK . PRE SPRAYED SOME TURTLE WAX BUG AND TAR REMOVER ON THE GRILL AND BUMPER AND FOLDING MIRRORS THEY WERE BUGGED UP PRETTY GOOD. NOW I HAVE THIS LITTLE CHINESE AMAZON ELECTRIC POWER WASHER MAYBE 1800PSI ON A GOOD DAY.
TO THE POINT NOW WHILE I WAS CLEANING MIRRORS THE LITTLE ORANGE MARKER LIGHT WOULD FLASH AND THEY WOULD FOLD TO THE CLOSED POSTION REPEATEDLY BOTH SIDES WHILE I WAS UP CLOSE BLASTING BUG GUTS OFF.
THIS FEELS LIKE ITS A NORMAL THING POSSIBLY MAYBE A FEATURE TO PROTECT THE MIRRORS IF THEY GOT BUMPED. I TRIED BUMPING W MY HAND BUT ONLY THE PRESSURE WASHER WOULD SET IT OFF. HAPPEN TO ANYONE?

Maybe car wash detector, so they fold up in a when going through an automated wash system?

No. If you had the keys in your pocket and wash getting the handle wet it will lock and unlock

There is a car wash detector?

My 2021 with power fold tow mirrors, does not fold in when I blast them with a pressure washer. Although I do have all of my auto fold features shutoff, I did not want them folding in and out every time I stop, so mine will only actuate on the button...for what that is worth.
