How to Replace the Folding Mirror Motor on a Ford Vehicle

Model: Ford Kuga MK 3 - Years 2020-2026
Part: Side mirror

Replacing the folding mirror motor on Ford (Focus, Kuga, Fiesta) is straightforward if you only replace the motor and not the entire assembly. The gear parts are usually intact, so it is more cost-effective to change just the motor. Remove the mirror glass and the plastic housing. Disconnect the electrical connector. Using a screwdriver, unscrew the screws that secure the motor and pull it out. Install the new motor, reconnect the connector, and reattach the glass. You can find the new motor on AliExpress with code 1005005269889291 for €11.69 (free shipping over €0.00). If you purchase the complete motor block with gears, you can disassemble it and replace all internal parts, leaving the original shell.
