Need help with a few issues (E86)

Evening all, few issues I’d like some advice on from the oracle please.

1. Neither wing mirror can be adjusted
2. The computer will not retain the setting to display range when the ignition is switched off, it comes up blank every time and I have to cycle through the options to get my range back.
3. The indicator stalk does not stay in position when indicating left, works fine when indicating right but it has to be held down to keep it on when turning left

Wing mirrors have been like that for a while, the computer thing is since the battery was replaced after going flat and the indicator is since the wife drove it on Monday!!

Any suggestions for fixes?

Do the mirrors adjust in any direction? First thing would be to try another switch.
Indicator I would suggest that switch too.
Computer? No idea but maybe disconnect the battery again and see if it resets?

Finally hide the keys from your wife
 
If its both mirrors not moving, i know its obvious, you really must check the fuse before anything else. There is one fuse for mirrors and a seperate fuse if they fold in.

Indicator stalk probably needs replacing to cure the incorrect movement. Isnt it the button on the end of the indicator stalk that also changes the display. Maybe it has 2 faults.

Nope, dead in all directions

Stupidly, I hadn't considered this. The folding does actually work. Are the fuses easily identifiable when I check the fuse box?

It is on the same stalk yeah but it works, it just doesn't stay on the setting I leave it on. Is it an easy thing to replace or do I need to decipher a TIS diagram?
