My question is, I am asking, can I prevent my wife from peeling the side manual mirrors off the van, by replacing them with power fold mirrors. Thank you.

so did not scan the PCM to learn why it fails?
we never ever skip scans today modern cars MUST be scanned first
after fuses all good (endless posted here same words )

outside mirror electrics seen in the service manual
I am reading it now
left side front fails
the mirror runs off the DDS, model, driver door switch controls
so mirror left//right up down work but the fold motor is dead

well the DDS is bad or the wires to it are bad
or comms fail. not scanning the PCm/BCM means not seeing errors.
the DDS has 4 switches
2 for extend and retract
and 2 to drive the motor, so 4 wires there. can fail.

I say DDS is bad. or connectors rusty or wiring damage there.

ebay parts or worse amazon.
?
or wrong parts ordered.

its in warranty, why not get them to fix it.
why ask us, ask them, its fully covered..
and all that is programmable, and mostly not adustable
if the operator guide shows no settings, that means its a dealer
only change. if at all.
The factory tool is like $10,000 so no body here has one..
did you read the operators guide yet>? in the glove box?

Hi ,The mirrors are quite stiff and you will have to push hard towards the back of the car ,but check with your owners handbook first,good luck.

{: ) Have someone control the power fold buttons, while you check closely the passenger mirror. If you can feel or hear even a faint hum of the motor while commanded, try giving it a little help, but don't force it if you think it doesn't have enough power to extend or retract itself. The motor could be really stuck or inoperative.
Sometimes when the mirror has been accidentally or manually folded, it needs to be reset by just pressing on the fold buttons a few rounds and let the mirrors fold by itself. Like an exercise.
If you hear the humming noise whenever the fold buttons are pressed, we can assume that the circuit on that side is ok since it is responding electrically, and that a jammed or stuck mechanism is preventing it to move.
If you don't feel or hear any humming, as in totally no sign of response, then there will be additional considerations before deciding to go for a replacement mirror. You will need to confirm if the fault is on the wirings, a door module, or the mirror motor itself. A scan tool test may be recommended for effective diagnosis.
The power fold mirror can be serviced as an assembly. So, goodluck.

For the rear window, just need adjuts the both slightly...


Check the next procedure to Power Mirrors...

Diagnosis & Testing
The exterior mirror control switch receives power through circuit SBP12 (GN/RD) and ground through circuit GD143 (BK/VT). The exterior mirror control switch uses circuit CPM23 (GY) as the common circuit for both exterior mirror up/down and right/left movement.

1. Possible Causes:
   Fuse 12 (7.5A) (SJB) An open in circuits CPM23 (GY), SBP12 (GN/RD) or GD143 (BK/VT A short to ground in circuit CPM23 (GY) A short to voltage in circuit CPM23 (GY) Exterior mirror control switch.
2. Checking the voltage at the mirror switch:
   Key in OFF position. Disconnect: Exterior Mirror Control Switch C527. Key in ON position. Measure the voltage between ground and exterior mirror control switch C527-1, circuit SBP12 (GN/RD). Voltage should be greater than 10 volts.
3. If voltage is greater than 10 volts, check that fuse 12 (7.5A) is OK. If OK, REPAIR circuit SBP12 (GN/RD) for an open.
   

Exterior Mirror Motor Synchronization

NOTE This procedure must be performed any time the power folding mirrors are manually folded in or out, or if the position of the mirror case has been moved without using the mirror control switch.
NOTE If the power folding mirrors are folded or unfolded continuously (6 to 10 cycles), the power lockout feature will disable the system for 2 minutes to prevent damage to the power fold motors. After 2 minutes have elapsed, normal operation will resume.

1. Set the mirror control switch to the CENTER position.
2. Use the mirror control switch (press rearward) to automatically cycle the power folding mirrors in and out 4 times.
3. When an audible popping sound is heard, the power folding mirror motors are synchronized.
   NOTE It may be necessary to cycle the power folding mirrors in or out up to 4 times before they are synchronized.

Removal & Installation
Motor

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions section.
   NOTE If equipped with power folding mirrors, they must be synchronized any time the mirrors have been folded or unfolded without using the mirror control switch. Refer to synchronization procedure.
   
2. Position the exterior mirror glass in a downward position to obtain a gap at the edge of the mirror.
   CAUTION Place a shop towel between the exterior mirror glass and the hand to avoid personal injury in the instance of glass breakage.
   
3. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver between the mirror glass tabs and the mounting plate, and rotate to separate the locking tabs from the mounting plate.
4. Carefully pull the top edge of the glass away from the exterior mirror housing.
   
   Fig. Mirror Glass removal shown
   
5. If equipped, disconnect the heated mirror electrical connectors and remove the glass.
6. Remove the 3 exterior mirror motor screws and exterior mirror motor.
7. Disconnect the electrical connectors.
8. To install, reverse the removal procedure.

Hope this help.

Hello. You may or you may not have a repair to make. Let me explain. What you may be experiencing is a feature whereby you can fold the mirror in when in a tight spot. This function only occurs when the rocker switch is set in the middle, as opposed to the left which then allows you to control the driver's side mirror or the right which allows you to control the passenger side mirror. Try putting that power mirror rocker switch in different positions and see what happens, you can't break it.
That said, if indeed you can't get the power mirrors to behave properly then you will have to replace that rocker switch. Regards, Joe
PS please rate my answer. Thank you.

The power folding function of your exterior mirrors on your '04 H2 depends on a plastic gear to collapse those mirrors at the touch of a button. That plastic gear strips very easily. The service adviser at our Hummer dealership said that problem was rectified in later model years with a redesign of of the collapsing mechanism of those mirrors.

I don't mind manually folding our mirrors, and I was afraid to ask about the cost of the parts required to solve the issue. The service guy didn't volunteer the cost of the fix. Not typically covered by aftermarket extended service/warranty plans.

had to install a driver side non folding mirror, fairly simply to say the least. There's a cover on the interior of the door, near the window, remove the cover, remove the 3 screws, need i believe a 10mm socket. If a power window, unhook the circuit. Replace new mirror.
