windshield washer, seat memory, auto dim mirror, side mirror tilt all dont work
About a month ago i noticed that the windshield washer stopped working. i get no noise from the motor at all. the next couple of days i noticed the seat memory doesnt work along with the side mirror doesnt tilt when you put it in reverse and the auto dimming rear view mirror doest work.
Im wondering if it could all be related. by the the way the car is an '04 TL.
any info or experience with similar problems would be a help.

it's me, Alan Rickman.
Bad fuse? Not sure if they're all off the same fuse or not..
- There is washer fluid in the tank right?
- Do your Mem 1 / 2 buttons still light up when you push them? Try setting it again, then see if it loses the memory again
- Make sure your power mirror switch is in the L or R position; if it's in the middle it will not tilt when the vehicle is in reverse
- Make sure the auto dimming mirror is powered on (green light)
My driver memory stopped working; they had to replace the control unit because it was faulty, it's been fine since then!

I would check your fuses inside the foot well and maybe under your hood. Not sure what fuse it would be though. I had some similiar happen to my old TSX and it turned out to be one fuse. Good luck.

See bulletin 05-033. Check fuse #20 they came as a 7.5A fuse and if the washer fluid ever freezes and you try to use the washers it overloads the circuit. The bulletin calls for replacement of the fuse with a 10A fuse and replacing the label on the fuse box cover with the updated fuse amperage rating. Fuse box for this one is in the drivers kick panel fuse box

I had almost the exact same symptoms, except that my power mirrors still moved (although, only to the right and down).
Is this the same issue, or is the fact that the mirrors still have power eliminate the fuse as the culprit.
Otherwise, it happened almost exactly like the OP said: windshield washer stopped working (no motor sound), seat memory completely dead, etc.
I brought it in for service, and they're telling me that I need a resetting of the memory system ($55, not covered by warranty). How is that supposed to fix the windshield washer?

Yeah, had the same problem a couple weeks ago.
Makes sense this is the time of the year everyone's fuse 20 is going out.
