My power mirror on the passenger side recently stopped tilting down in reverse, i knew the day would come when i would be without it and realize how spoiled it freakin makes me...does anone know what the problem might be or has had similar problems? thanks guys

 

Is the mirror selector switch definitely in the middle? If its the window won't tilt down.

 

you are the man! thank you...thats why i love this forum..later

 

 

this thread just helped me too. i thought my mirror was fucked, but yeah, it just wasn't in the middle

thanks be to the search

 

Wow

 

I think I actually posted the same thing after I first got mine. Once I figured it out I felt like an idiot.

 

ahah i figured it out myself, i felt like an idiot b/c i was going to ask how to not make it tilt =]

 

same here...love the forum

 

mine stopped too! i gotta go see if my mirror selector is in the middle now.

on a side note, only the passenger side window is supposed to tilt down, right? my friend with a TL said that when he first bought his car both mirrors tilted down, but for my CL-S, only the passenger side one does.

 

i just realized yesterday that my center console slides forward

 

Yeah, I didn't realize the console armrest slid foward for a couple of months and I read the owners manual...

If the mirror doesn't tilt, and the button is in the correct position, and you still have problems, just reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery (make sure you have your radio code first). At least that's what I had to do when mine was acting up...

 

turns out the selector wasn't exactly in the middle, a little to the right. sweeet, yall just saved me the hassle of going to the dealership

 

I agree that the tilt mirror spoil us, that is why i disable it. So i wont rub my wheel against curb on other car. I do feel that my parallel parking got crappier after using the tilt mirror.

 

Are you kidding? My wife is jealous because her Volvo doesn't have this feature.

Only the passenger side.

 

happened to me before and it started working again.. haha never knew why. but now i do

 

it moves back? no way! man im learning soo much today

 

does any one know if the driver side is supposed to tilt bc mine does not and it has not since i bought the car just thought id ask

 

you bunch of noobs.

 

good question, i never noticed if they tilt.. i believe they do... i'll check tmr

What??? The console armrest slides forward? I'll have to check that out.

 

Just The Passenger Side Mirror Tilts

 

 

Yep... there's actually 2 foward positions too...

 

 

yeah it slides forwards, its awesome for 6-speeds... somewhere to rest my arm =]

 

6 months I've had my car and just now figured that out...I feel like a moron.

 

I can't believe this thread made it to a second page.

 

Well apparently our CL's have a little too many features for us to keep up with. :P I myself didn't know the console slides forward until a few months after I got it.

 

02-03 TL : passenger only
04+ TL : both (depending if you leave the switch on the driver's or passenger's side, it won't do both at the same time)

 

Is there a way to convert the drivers side mirror to tilt? Would it just be changing to motor in the mirror? I just found out my passenger side tilts after 6 months of driving! Yeah, go ahead and say it.......I'm a noob!

 

You should be able to turn your head to look out and see the driver side. If you can't move your head that much, you shouldn't be driving. The idea is that it allows you to see the curb. You can see the curb along side your driver side without even turning your head really. I really don't think it's something you'd be able to mod either.

I noticed the center console slides the day I got my car. Nice to be able to adjust it on the 6-speed.

Does anyone actually use the side mirror heaters?

Anyone notice the lights on the vanity mirrors only come on if the headlights are on?

 

Hell ya I use the mirror heaters!

But I always forget to turn them back off....

 

All you'd have to do is purchase an extra motor...wire it up to the driver side mirror (obviously) and then route wiring to the other mirror or just the switch itself.

I can't see the need for it though.

And I use my heated mirrors every winter

And...Yes to this...

Check out Chod's page...I'm sure that it's in there.
