I have two issues with my mirrors. 2011 Tahoe LT.

1. When I press the button to fold them in nothing happens. All of the other buttons on my driver door work as expected. Where should I look for other issues?

2. My passenger door mirror is loose. I was driving in high winds last week and it was moving around. Is there a bolt to tighten somewhere?

Thanks!

have you rolled down the window and listened with the key on engine off when you press the fold button?
if you hear it making noise and they do not fold then the gear inside is broken, if so you can buy a new gear and replace it. just takes a few tools and a vice.
repair time is 30-60 minutes per mirror

I will check that out, thank you!

I'm thinking since neither fold it may be a fuse somewhere.
