Tech people....I think my power mirrors are bad

I tried to adjust my drivers side mirror today and it wouldn't turn in towards me. It would move up and down though. I then tried the passenger side and it wouldn't turn out. Then back to the drivers side and it didn't want to move at all. Could I have a bad switch? Anyone else have this problem? It was over 40 degrees outside so temp wasn't a factor. Comments, help please.

Thanks

before you go to the dealer, try just getting out of the car and adjusting the mirror a little by hand.

Then use the switches... and it should work again.

This has happened to me twice and that trick worked every time.

the bulletin referred to covers the passenger morror.The mirrors are controlled by digital means it is possible besides the switch being bad that one of three computers are bad.Time for a stop by your dealer and have it checked out.Jens
