Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Probably a long shot, but a dodgy ignition switch can cause all manner of weird electrical behaviour.

Secondly, I’ve set my electric seats and mirrors and saved the setting, but when I get in the seat is fine but the drivers mirror goes haywire.

I know if you set the system up in reverse the passenger side one dips, but this is the drivers side.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good morning Having had my C4s for a few weeks I thought I’d ask you guys a quick few questions. When I start the car the light for my heated rear screen comes on, is this normal? Secondly, I’ve set my electric seats and mirrors and saved the setting, but when I get in the seat is fine but the drivers mirror goes haywire. I know if you set the system up in reverse the passenger side one dips, but this is the drivers side. it doesn’t move down but inwards, any advice given would be much appreciated.

POST 2Original post

No, it isn't normal for the HRW light to come on - v. odd. I have never heard of the right hand mirror moving inwards of its own accord either. Probably a long shot, but a dodgy ignition switch can cause all manner of weird electrical behaviour. It is a fiddly, but inexpensive job, so it might be worth a punt. There is a DIY in the Technical Articles section.
