Default Help! Passenger mirror doesn't tilt-down when in reverse..

I always have the mirror adjustment **** set to the passenger mirror. For some odd reason the mirror won't tilt down when going in reverse.

The only thing that has changed since the last time I noticed it working was the installation of the Euro-RS4 seats. Could this in some odd way have something to do with it?

I can still adjust both mirrors with the switch no problem.

Any troubleshooting tips will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Default And do your reverse lights come on?

I would guess that the sole reverse switch is the trigger for the mirror adjustment.

Default Must be the seats

Better remove them and send them to me. I never use the mirror-tilt-down function, so I won't miss it...

Default If I knew the seats would disable tilt-down feature, would never have bought them =P

I'm j/k.... You're very clever though John

Default You've reached the end of my internet troubleshooting abilities

I can't think of any reason why the seats would change that.

Default Hmmmm just thought of something..

If I'm not mistaken, the seat positioning preset buttons are tied into the mirrors position as well correct? I changed the position of the mirrors and held down button #1 (button I always had my favorite preset stored in the past) and the mirrors don't go back to where I had them.

Could it be because I don't have electronic seats anymore, it changes the whole schematic of how things work?

Can anyone else that has installed euro-rs4 seats in their US model tell me if their tilt-down feature works when they reverse?

Oh, maybe. Sounds plausible.
