ok, well i was working on the micro relay method described by jdm fan as of course the relay didnt come with my folding mirrors. now i got the relay functioning correctly, (push fold button, mirrors fold, let go, mirrors open) but what bothers me is the constant positive power applied while driving the car, (mirrors being continually asked to stay open). wont this wear down the motors and actuators very quickly? what methods have you used to bypass the need to cut power once the mirrors are fully extended...or did you just say "fawkit" and lived happily for many years without having to worry about it?
thanks.
