Poltergeist in my mirrors

[kimike]

First it started with the passanger mirror motor engaging in reverse and then not stopping. Posted reply on this forum was to check the reverse switch which unfortunately wasn't the issue. Now when I have gotten in my car the mirrors go in random directions activated by my remote key. When I get in the car I reset the mirrors manually and then push the memory 1 button and the mirrors start moving randomly. I then put the mirrors back and set the memory and it works fine...until I use the key remote which seems to reintroduce the bug. I have reset the memory assigned to the key several times and when I use the remote it engages the mirrors and they go off in their own directions. It is as if the system engages to set the mirrors as it should, but doesn't recognize that they are set correctly and simply starts the mirrors moving.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks as always for everyone's great suggestions.

"I have reset the memory assigned to the key...."

I though/think the key, each key, has a memory "slot" assignment independent of the doorsill numbered buttons.....

Correct, the key is assigned a memory "slot", what I meant by reset, was I adjusted the mirrors again after having the problem and with the key in the ignition set the memory for the key again with the mirrors in proper position. After doing this I locked and unlocked the car with success, but later coming back to the car, unlocked the doors and the mirrors went off in their own direction

The control box is faulty, you can always try with a reprogramming but i suspect the control box.
