These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi. Just reversed my 996 turbo out of the garage after being on trickle charge for the last couple of month, it has the mirror tilt option on the passenger door mirror when put into reverse, but noticed that it went into tilt when the ignition was switched on and stays on tilted position when driving. It only returns to normal position when the the alarm is switched on. Any ideas anyone. Thanks

Try clearing the memory and resetting the memory function? Shot in the dark.....

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi tried a fault checker and its not showing as a fault. But have noticed that the reverse lights are on constantly so suspect a sticking reverse light switch. Anyone any ideas of where the reverse light switch is located on a 6 speed manual right hand drive car. Thanks
