So i get in my car, put it in reverse, and instead of the passenger mirror tilting down like it's supposed to, it tilts left as far as it car until it starts clicking back and forth. When I put it in drive it stopped but was still adjusted as far left as it can go, so i put it in park and hit the my memory setting button to put it back to normal and nothing happened. So I hit the other memory button and nothing happened. So then I hit the memory set button and still nothing happened. My memory buttons just stopped working. Even when I get in the car with my key it still says "Welcome Driver One" but it won't adjust the seats or mirrors when I open the door or anything. I later changed the mirror setting so the driver side mirror would tilt down in reverse and it worked as normal, changed it back so the passenger would tilt down, and it still tilts to the left non stop. WHAT IS MY CAR DOING? Could this be a blown fuse or is my car just crazy? HELP!

I'm curious....does the passenger side mirror move as expected when the car is in park? Or is it moving left when you try to tilt it down?

Did you ever figure this out? My car is doing the exact same thing. The memory buttons don't even light up. I had some body work done so I'm going to call them and tell them about this. I guess they disconnected the battery because when I picked it up I needed to enter the navi code.

Hope this helps....

^When shifting into R, or adjusting the mirror with its adjusting switch, the mirror chatters or pulses.
^The DPMS doesn't recall one or both of the mirror memory positions.
^The DPMS moves the driver's seat 1 inch, then stops.

PROBABLE CAUSE
Faulty door mirror actuator.

I forgot to add that generally once you do 1 the other craps out. i recc replacing both. they arent very exspensive and easy to install.

^ thorough explanation!! Mine click/shutter once in a while...likely going to have to replace the actuators...under warranty?

BuisyBizz

I called up the shop, the guy said they probably forgot to program it. Said I can take it in on Monday and it should take about 15 mins...we'll see. I did notice some slight sticking before this, so it does seem like the actuators finally gave out.

fabricator

depends on the vehicles mileage. Contact your dealer to be sure. Acura has a bigger warranty window than Honda. If not, like i said they aren't very exspensive.

BuisyBizz

Just to confirm, it was the actuator. They replaced it and everything's working fine again.
