Mirrors wont tilt when put in reverse

When I first got the car (3 months ago) my mirrors would tilt when I put it in reverse. Now they dont! Could this be as simple as a fuse? Or as difficult as who knows what? Any help would be greatly appreciated

my 2002 (2nd Gen) tilts the mirror in reverse as long as the mirror positioning switch is set in the middle (neutral)

What in the world are you talking about. The solution was posted countless times. Only the passenger side mirror tilts, AND the mirror switch has to be in the middle to make the passenger side tilt when in reverse.

So then instead of saying

so does anyone actually have a solution to this problem or just pointless comments? because you are having the same problems
Maybe you should have said that you have the problem of them not working BUT your switch IS in the middle position?????

Both of your mirrors did not tilt on the 2nd gen, its simply not an option.
