When does the passenger side mirror go to the programmed position?
The passenger side mirror does go to the programmed position only when I turn the knob to R (my car is LHD, so R is passenger side – right). And what’s more, it happens in any position of the gear selector (P, N, R or D/S). What can I be missing? Anyone have similar symptoms?
What are the symptoms of a bad mirror control switch?

What happens when you push the mirror switch up?
Under normal conditions, when the driver selects one of the mirrors and pushes the mirror switch up, a set of electrical contacts inside the switch connect power and ground to the up/down mirror motor to move that mirror up. In the down position, the mirror switch reverses the electrical polarity to the motor and the mirror goes down.
Is the passenger side review mirror dipping in reverse?
The owner’s handbook never mentions the need to set it up “dynamically” (i.e. through changing D<->R and actually driving), but this can be an omission. The fact is that in the garage – when I set the knob to the passenger’s mirror – it dipped down in all gears (also in P and N), and never went up straight when I changed gear from R to D.

My drivers side mirror doesn’t always fold out with the passenger one. This has been going on for a while and started as just happening once in a while – its getting more frequent now though.
