Default Odd behavior from driver's outside mirror.

Here's a brain-buster for all of you tekkies: When I disarm the alarm on my '00, the left outside mirror slowly motors 'up', so you're staring at the sky when you get in and look at the mirror. Doesn't happen all the time, and it doesn't matter which mirror is selected via the switch. Kinda the opposite of the passenger mirror that points down when you engage reverse.

Any ideas? The dealer guessed it was the power mirror controller or something??

Default

Set your mirrors however you would like them. Then set your memory seats on that setting for "1".

Default You also need to set your remote to your settings.

If you use your secondary remote, it will move the mirrors as soon as you unlock the car.
