@hefler might have to look in other folders and enable there also if listed.

do your side mirrors have the signals built in on the outside as well?

Yes, it does have.

I checked the APIM as build it and the APIM normal module

In PTS, when I pull the wiring schematics for my 2023 BS, I get two possibilities for the the way the mirrors are wired: One for vehicles that have one touch up and down that DOES include wiring for the mirrors to fold in and out:

And another for vehicles with one touch down only that do NOT show anything in terms of wiring that will support power-fold mirrors:

I am not sure if ours is one touch down only or if it does both up and down; my girl is going to check later when she gets off of work since it's her truck. However, assuming the the hardware is there for power fold mirrors to work, it would also need to be enabled with FORScan in the PDM and DDM for it to work.

Looking through the FORScan spreadsheet for the Maverick, it seems like the door modules are the same as the 2023 BS, I see this in there that looks interesting:

Ford Bronco Sport Bronco ForScan Thread 1754941590418-y


My BS shows a 0 there for disabled in the DDM and PDM.

You can try changing that value to a one to see if it works.

Edit: Confirmed that our BS does have auto up & down. I'll mess with it later tonight to see what happens.

Do you have the latest version of FORScan? If so, I'll be home and settled in in about an hour. I will plug into mine then to see if I see anything different.

I'll let you know if I see anything different on ours. I have FORScan beta, but I don't think that matters in terms of what modules it can read.

If I interpret you correctly, it's an either/or with the one-touch windows or power folding mirrors. I'd rather have the one-touch, then, and glad I do. Folding mirrors are never something I'd consider terribly necessary, at least in the 'burbs and beyond. The windows, OTOH, are massively useful.

Ok, so I can for sure access all the modules. Using my VLinker and not the Mongoose. Give me a bit to play with it.

Well, it was worth a try.

Same here. This is a weird situation. The config is there, and right. The module is there, the option shows at the car configuration (to enable and disable) but when we try.
NOPE

I have a friend here with the same car and year and he can fold. But since he is the second owner he doesn't know what the first owner did it. I guess the used a plug and play module to do that (like the image below)

I don't want to use that solution since I guess the solution already exist in our car

If the motor is in the mirror assembly, there has to be a way to do it. It could be the Maverick config is different from these. We're still working in the dark here. I reached out to Livnitup today and he's still unable to make a spreadsheet for us. I'll check back with him in another month or so.

Sorry, I missed this before, but according to the diagram, it's the ones that have both one touch up and down that shows wiring for power fold in and out. That's why I was hopeful it would work. My girl was excited about it, too. Here in the city, it's a nice feature to have.

I messed around with it a bit more, but couldn't get it to do anything. I'm not ready to give up on it. Can you message me the VIN of this truck that has it working?
