Can someone tell me whats wrong with my side mirrors control unit?

It used to work before like 2 months ago, i just noticed now that it doesn't work. The adjuster is like too loose and no matter how hard I press the side mirrros won't move. Attached is video

Also can anyone tell me how to move my rear view mirror without manually moving it? I know there is a motor in the mirror because when i adjust seat positions from 1 and 2, the mirror also moves with the seat.

That switch appears broken to me -- as you mentioned, it moves too easily. Diagnosis would be confirmed in < 5 minutes with a $300 Chinese-cloned SDS. You should purchase one, since it can potentially pay for itself many times over.

This feature does not exist -- not on U.S. cars, anyway. It did on some M-Bs from MY1990-1995, however.
