Default Passenger side mirror doesn't swivel down

Had the heater core replaced by a local shop - got the car back and noticed that the mirror doesn't "swivel down" when tranny is in reverse. Any ideas what i should be looking at to remedy this?

Default Take it back to the shop and have them fix what they've done....

They've probably left the connector off the back of the power mirror adjustment switch. Test, by trying to adjust either mirror. If neither move, you know what's up.

If both move using the adjustment button, then push in the right mirror selector button fully, and try the car in reverse again. The right mirror will only dip when it's selector button is fully pushed in.

just to emphasize what Todd said, double check the PS button is pushed in.

Thanks a bunch guys - I will check it out after work today. "PS" button? I'm assuming that's the 4-way mirror adjustment button on the dash (L/R)..

Default Or it could be broken

If you hear the motor running but the glass isn't tilting, you'll need to replace the entire mechanism. We tried juryrigging the mirror on my wife's car, but it didn't work. Have to replace the whole thing.
