3G TL reverse tilt mirror and reverse light not on

Hi all,

I have replaced the fuse #4, #20, #21 to 10amp from 7.5 amp. I am still unable to have the mirror tilt down while reversing (yes the knob is selected L/R). The mirror can still move if i were to set the knob to (L/R)

on the same token my reverse light does not work either. Even if i had replaced the light bulb still does not solve the side mirror for not tilting down.

Can someone help since I rely on my reverse light and would be nice to have my mirror tilt again.

It sounds like the car is having an issue detecting you are in reverse! Does R light up on the dashboard when you put it in Reverse?

Sorry to mention. I have a six speed. No "r" light on dashboard.

I have zero experience with manual TL so don't trust me too much, but there must be a switch that detects the transmission to be in reverse.

Service manual points to the switch that is in the body of the transmission under the battery.

Does either mirror ever adjust itself on its own? Or will it always remain in the position/angle that you've selected?

My TL never adjusts the mirrors stay set in the selected location. On a side note my whole navigation display just recently stopped working not sure if it could be related
