Passenger side mirror Not tilting when reversing

I have noticed that my passenger side mirror tilts less than half of the time when I put my 2003 TL into reverse. Im thinking it could be a bad electrical connect. Anyone have ideas or experience with this?

Fixed! I started moving the mirror adjust. switch form left to right to middle and found out that you have to move it to the right and back to center to activate the mirror tilt when reversing. =)

Yes, The switch NEEDS to be in the middle position for that feature to work. (Info is also in the Owners Manual)

Mine tilts down like it should when you put it in reverse, but it rarely makes it all the way back to the correct (previous) position afterwards.

Anything to fix that? It pretty annoying.

I had the same problem until I found out that I forgot to reprogram my memory button. Try that . Adjust your seats and mirrors to where you want it and redo the momo button see if that works. check which remote you have first #1 or #2
