it's the MIRROR actuators that need new grease...it gets bound up and hard over time.
Or you can replace them...or try regreasing them. As Cujo mentioned, if you put the mirror
in the center position it won't go down when you reverse...otherwise it'll drop down on whatever
side you have it set to.

Why can't you reprogram?
When you hold it down on "1" or "2" there's no audible confirmation beep?
There is something with keyless settings in the MID.
Also make sure the key you are using matches the number you are programming.

Quick question: Is there a way to disable the memory power side mirror function on the 3G TL? It works fine when manually operated (using the controls), but when it tries to auto adjust based on memory seat position, it's not a smooth motion (sticks and makes loud clicking sound).
V/R, Nats

I had a similar problem even with brand new actuators. Any time I would unlock the car, it would move the mirror to some imaginary saved position, and it continued to do this no matter how many times I tried to update the memory. Since I'm the only driver, I wound up unlinking both fobs so the car doesn't even attempt to move the seat or mirror on unlock.

@nats007 might be a fuse...
the lights being out doesn't mean shit though, might be burnt out bulbs at this point.

Since the seat was never moving, I suspected my problem was the mirrors. But those were new actuators. IIRC that left me with the option of either replacing the MSC unit (which would require removing the driver's seat), or I could just unlink my fobs.

I have come to the realization that owning an aged luxury car loaded with aged technology sucks aged balls. As much as I love my Type S, I am tempted to find a desperate VW salesman and bend him over on trade-in value for the Acura to get my grubby mitts on a new GLI.

That's, of course, a terrific idea!

I remember this now. The logic on this system locks the memory controls until the mirrors and seat are done moving. Something gets fucky and never registers as having finished moving to position, so the memory controls are effectively locked out all the time.

Ahhhh, this is probably what I'm looking for!!! Just unlink the fobs and it shouldn't go crazy. Thank you! Will report back later if this resolved the issue.

I tend to go at least 4+ years of no car payments. So I bought my RSX-S in 2006, paid off in 2010. Mrs had her 2005 Mazda3 (paid off in 2010). Bought MDX in 2014, paid off in 2019. Hoping for no car payments until 2023
Maintaining 4 vehicles is a PITA though lol

But yeah, hurricane evac isn't so much a concern any more. We plays it smart but don't sweat some details.

Although, this is some fuckin' bullshit... Found this Friday morning when were about to head out for a Dr appointment:
That's like some straight up murder-rape boobies trap shit... It was a bullet casing with the lip serrated, and a nail in the middle of it, filled with sand. Must have picked it up on Thursday. The beefy tread block on the tire took most of the damage so it just lost air in my driveway, but that fucker would have hit a summer tire or a more worn down tread, it could have been a catastrophe.

Just finished mowing my lawn.
And no, it was not related to by gonad hair. So, no Richard sucking jokes or eating bum jokes.
