T6 Start line electric folding mirrors - both sides?

Hi all,

I have a 2016 start line. Very new to vans so bear with me! Didn’t realise until recently that the knob on the drives side allows for electric folding (turning to top left of knob).

However it only does it for the passenger side mirror? There is certainly power going to the driver side as the electronic mirror adjustment works. So I am wondering…

- It’s normal to have drivers side manually folding?
- If not, maybe it’s had a hit and has been replaced with a manual one?
- If not again, would an electric folding mirror move easily without any ‘crunching’? I wonder if I did the damage at a car wash lol… the car wash moved the mirrors and I wonder if I potentially broke a motor (stupidly didn’t fold them in)

Thanks!

Many thanks for this.. maybe I’ll see if I can pop off the mirror to see if there is indeed any electrics or motors visible. Sound like there will be no resistance if a cool has been shorted.. what would that look like? 1 thing different to that post is I do have the switch on the drivers door…. Does this suggest both are supposed to be foldable electronically?
