Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion
I think it might have been related to a very specific sequence of changing gears and possibly turning off the engine in between.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

I like the auto lowering feature of the right side view mirror with power seats, but this weekend the mirror wouldn't always automatically return to the regular drive angle. Anyone experience this problem?

POST 2Original post

I had this happen once. I think it might have been related to a very specific sequence of changing gears and possibly turning off the engine in between.

POST 3Original post

Did you have the mirrors control switch in neutral? I don't have this feature in my Cayman, but in our MDX, if the switch isn't in neutral, the feature doesn't work.

POST 4Original post

I thought I had the same problem in my M3. All you have to do is put the the mirror control in neutral and the auto-lowering will come back. When you select the right side mirror it will disable to auto-lowering.

POST 5Original post

On the CS, the mirror switch has to be set to the right mirror position in order for the auto lowering to work and it was set that way when I had the problem--the mirror lowered, but didn't return to the normal position. A bit disconcerting to see the ground rushing by instead of the car in the blind spot on the right. It worked fine this morning so maybe it was just a glitch or phase of the moon...
