Hi all just had a a couple of issues with my ZS EV, firstly the mirrors stopped retracting on locking then the drivers side window controls stopped working. Mirrors working again but not drivers window control, the light on the control is on so power getting there I assume?? Any ideas from anyone please????
 
Yes - it sounds like it could be related to the wiring loom recall, others have had similar issues.
 
Nope mirrors now not operating with locking.... work from the button inside though??
The dealer will run your VIN number and check if the wiring loom replacement is required on your car.
My car was first registered at the very start of Jan 2020.
When the car was offered up for it's first service on the 15th Jan 2021 the drivers door wiring harness was flagged up and replaced under a recall service bulletin from MG.
If your car requires the loom replacing, then tell them to keep the key as far away as possible from the car when they replace the loom !.
If the key is close to the car when the work is done, the car will interpret this as an attempted theft and close down the car.
Sounding the alarm every time the 12 volt battery is connected !.
It will also decode the key and the car will be rendered completely dead.
Ask me how I know all this.
My car was stuck at the dealership for a couple of days until MG Tech advised on a fix.
The second spare key had to be delivered to the dealer, which brought the car back to life.
But them both keys had to be totally recoded to the vehicle.
 
I love the fact that the Specialist Techs who work on our EVs are just that. I had the drive control knob renewed which meant the whole centre console being removed to achieve this... caught in dash cam was the tech asking “how the fudge does this come out” then a snap as they broke the centre console. 8 days for new parts and no proper apology. Their statement was we don’t know everything about every car and our EV tech is fully trained for EVs.. haha thanks for the info
