Passenger side mirror not returning after reverse

[geoff]

2005 Carrera. The outside right (passenger) mirror is set to dip when reversing. For the past year or so, the mirror intermittently doesn't return to normal when shifting from reverse to drive (it's a tip). Dealer has ordered a replacement mirror motor. When it doesn't return to normal, if I toggle the mirror adjustment control side from right to middle, and then back to right, the mirror usually moves back to where it should be. Anything else to have checked at the same time? Car has about 300 miles left before it passes 50K miles on the warranty.

The problem is not the mirror motor, it is either the passenger or drivers door module, usually a computer reset "handover" with Piwis tester will fix this.

Last July when I took the car in for service, the dealer said they reprogrammed the mirror, which I assumed meant something with PIWIS. Never got a definitive answer, but it's never clear how much the service writers really know about what is done and how. But I still have the problem. Is there something specific I should mention when I drop off the car in the morning?

Let check (replace) the mirror adjustment control switch as well, since a switch manipulation solves (temporarily) your problem.
