Both mirror turn signals "failed" simultaneously

Great Forum: First time I didn't find my answer searching existing threads! Took my 2010 Jetta to dealer for warranty repair of "Exhaust valve stuck open" (code P047 at 112,000 mi). Since it was due I asked them to do state inspection. They then say both mirror turn signals are not functioning, of course they want $334. Took it home and scanned with VAGCOM--it says both door controllers failed about 4000 mi ago, with exactly same time code and mileage. I found that the coding no longer included the exterior mirror turn signals, so I checked the turn signal box and hit "Do it", then got "Coding Accepted", but no luck, no signals. Any ideas???

All turned back to VW. Now a 2017 Hundai Tuscon. Not a single squalk in 10k miles.
Wire(s) broken. Probably drivers door.

This is something new. Did they work before?

Yes, thanks, I thought I had noticed them working after the mileage of the reported failure--I knew I would be taking it in for state inspection.

See if they work with the four way flasher.

No, they don't work with the hazard flasher on. Replacements arrived today, I will test one before I take the door apart to check that side of the wiring harness for broken wires.

Both left and right sides had the inboard LED blown, both outboard LEDs on both sides still work fine when powered up. Diodes on little pc boards are fine. And VAGCOM says both blew at the same time...go figure. Anyway replaced and work fine--BUT right side mirror spring mount has corroded all the way through and would have fallen off if not for the housing. It is white corrosion as others have reported elsewhere.

That is a odd one.
