Passenger mirror just stopped moving down when in reverse...

Any thoughts?

I pressed the button to control the passenger mirror, and it used to tilt downwards when I reversed, but not anymore.

Try it the other way around.

Readjust the mirrors with the gear in park. Set M 1 again. Then, place the car in reverse with the mirror selctor on the right side.

Where the mirror moves to when you go to reverse can be programmed. It will remember it and looks like it thinks the upright position is the same. Anyhow, once in reverse, you should see the mirrors try to move. Go ahead and use the mirror adjustment knobs if needed. Then put the car back in drive and give it a moment.

Mine gets goofy from time to time and that is how I deal with it.

Good luck boy!!!

What Jangy said to reset it, or just make sure that the toggle switch is set or focused on the passenger side. This enables the feature for the passgener side. Toggling it to the left side will make the mirror go down on the driver side when in reverse.
