HELP! My side mirror doesn't go down in reverse!

hey guys!
This happened awhile ago, and I didn't pay much attention to it, but now its different. My side view mirror on the passenger side doesn't go down when I put my gear in reverse. It used to do it, and now it doesn't. I really really miss this functionality, arghh. Can someone help me out? Thanks.

Are you certain the mirror control switch is in the middle?

The automatic tilt only works when the adjusting indicator is in the middle... If it is stuck in L or R (meaning that you are set to adjust your mirror), then it will not work...

In fact, I put mine in "R"ight mode most of the time to avoid the tilt when I back into my garage...

In that case, it's probably cuz your mirror's motor is broken. If you still got warranty take it to the dealership and they'll fix it for you.

i don't think its frozen, also, after checking it, i don't think the motor is dead. I'm able to adjust my mirrors using the controls. Can it be someding else, or is there another motor?
