| Automatic mirror dip problem |
|
Hi all for some reason my both wing mirrors dip far to much when reverse is selected, they have been fine for the last three years until yesterday, I like them dipping but this much! I have done the mem restore and when done I get the message mirror dip stored etc but they still go down too far 
I drive a van for most of my miles so the wing mirrors pointing in the wrong position is like being blind 
Any ideas

could be a faulty memory seat module - there was a TSB back in 2007 ....
Or it may have just failed and unrelated to TSB.
TSB LTB00042 issued 16th March '07
All Vehicles With Memory Mirrors VIN- range: 5A300394-7A427985
Summary:
A customer may complain of any of the following conditions:
1. Memory mirrors in the incorrect position after unlocking and entering the vehicle.
2. Memory mirrors not returning to their correct driving position after a reverse
manoeuver has been completed and the gear selector has been moved out of reverse.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission, if the gear position is left in reverse and the
ignition switched 'OFF' (and the vehicle enters sleep mode) when the ignition is next
switched 'ON' and the gear selector moved away from reverse, the mirrors incorrectly
remain in the dipped position. On the next reverse gear cycle the mirrors will recover and
will return to the correct driving position.
4. On vehicles with the 'Lazy Entry' feature enabled, the following sequence will result in
the mirrors incorrectly moving to the dipped position:
a) Ignition 'ON'.
b) Select reverse gear - mirrors move to dipped position.
c) Ignition 'ON' - auxiliary.
d) De-select reverse gear - mirrors move to driving position.
e) Lock the vehicle.
f) Unlock the vehicle - mirrors move to the dipped position (INCORRECT).
5. On vehicles with the lazy entry feature enabled, there is an issue with the normal
driving position drifting. Repeating the following sequence for a number of cycles will
result in a drift:
a) Ignition 'ON'.
b) Select reverse gear (mirrors move to dipped position).
c) Deselect reverse gear (mirrors move to driving position).
d) Ignition 'ON' - auxiliary - key-in - key-out.
e) Lock the vehicle.
f) Unlock the vehicle.
g) Key in - auxiliary.
6. On vehicles with manual transmission, if the gear position is left in reverse (mirrors
dipped) and the ignition is turned 'OFF'. If the ignition is then turned 'ON' and the engine
cranked, and the gear selector is moved out of reverse (whilst still cranking), the mirrors
do not return to the driving position.
NOTE: All other mirror issues other than those described in the Summary will require
further investigation. To be carried out as a separate Warranty Claim.
NOTE: The mirrors may be repositioned using the normal mirror adjustment functionality.
Cause: Some sequences of ignition cycles/gear positions (involving reverse) can cause
the control software within the seat module to become confused and loose the
mirror memory position, or learn an incorrect driving position.
Action: Should a customer express concern, install a new driver seat module Duncan

....noticed mirrors on my 2006 HSE don't go back to where the originally were. It seems they very gradually start to return to a slightly higher position after each selection of reverse. I eventually notice I am stretching to see far enough down and then reset them manually.
Have an AA warrantee, so is it worth a claim do you think.....although must admit it doesn't bother me too much to reset them every now and again.
